they would be pick mes |
|
What are the 3 groups of micro-organisms? |
Bacteria, mould and yeasts |
|
|
What are the 5 factor conditions needed for micro-organisms? |
ph (neutral), food (protein+nutrients), temp (5-63c), time (10-20 min), moisture |
also add specifications |
|
How do micro-organisms contaminate food? |
Micro-organisms spoil food by contaminating it with their waste products, their physical presence (being in food) and the toxins that they produce |
