Chapter 30, Problem 4MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The presence of both of nutrient and water in the food substances along with the persistence of suitable pH aids in the growth of microbes on it. Thus, as a result many of the food substances haveevolved a natural defense mechanism, wherein it limits one of the above-mentioned intrinsic factors, in order to restrict the growth of microorganisms on it.
