How does salt preserves food?
Bacteria dislike high concentrations of salt. There will be an osmotic imbalance. Water will escape the bactrim and enter the saline solution killing the bacteria. Has to be high levels of salt though.
How does tinning food kill bacteria?
Tinning food involves sealing it in a can and then heating it to a high temperature to kill bacteria. The heat destroys the bacteria by denaturing proteins and damaging cell structures, preventing them from growing and spoiling the food. Additionally, the sealed can prevents new bacteria from entering and contaminating the food.
What happens to bacteria at 63 degrees?
Bacteria in food reaching a temperature of no more than 63c is very dangerous. Bacteria thrive at this temperature. Food is in what can be referred to as a 'high risk or danger zones'. Food should not be consumed and should be destroyed.
What is it when you pastrise something?
When something is pasteurized, it means it has been heated to a high enough temperature to kill the dangerous bacteria in it. One food product that is well-known for being pasteurized is milk.
What type of food properties allow harmful bacteria to multiply rapidly?
There are various food properties that allow harmful bacteria to multiply rapidly; one being the food is low in acid. Two more are moisture and that the food is high in protein.
Which cell can transfer the most DNA?
Bacteria are known to have a high DNA transfer capability through a process called conjugation. During conjugation, they can transfer a significant amount of DNA to another bacterium by forming a physical bridge between cells through a structure called a pilus. This allows for the transfer of plasmids or other genetic material between bacteria.
Bacteria do not grow well in food with high levels of moisture such as meat and cheese?
It is a false statement that bacteria do not grow well in food with high levels of moisture such as meat and cheese.
How can osmosis preserve food?
by packing food with a lot of salt, osmosis is being used to keep bacteria out of the food. If bacteria land on food with a high salt content, then the salt will suck moisture out of the bacteria via osmosis and the bacteria will die. This is not true for halophiles (bacteria that tend to enjoy being in high salt content), but it is true for many bacteria. This is why, before a good understanding of micro-organisms was developed, people noticed that food could be preserved with salt and this was known as "curing" the food.
Food that might be spoiled by lipolytic bacteria?
Any food that has a high fat content....
What does sugar do for bacteria?
It is food to them. It can prevent the growth of bacteria, however, if it is dissolved in a high concentration (like honey).

Foods that are high in acid do not allow harmful bacteria to multiply rapidly.
How does salting preserve food?
the salt kills bacteria that spoils the food

How does pasteurisation preserve food?
Pasteurization preserves food by killing the bacteria that cause food spoilage. It is accomplished by heating foods to a high temperature.
