Detailed explanation-1: -Microorganisms grow fastest in the Temperature Danger Zone (TDZ) of 5°C to 56.7°C. This TDZ range includes room temperature as well.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bacteria can live in hotter and colder temperatures than humans, but they do best in a warm, moist, protein-rich environment that is pH neutral or slightly acidic. There are exceptions, however. Some bacteria thrive in extreme heat or cold, while others can survive under highly acidic or extremely salty conditions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Controlling any or all of these factors can help prevent bacterial growth. Remember “FAT-TOM” and how it relates to food safety. Temperature and time are the two most controllable factors for preventing foodborne illness.
