High temperature prevents the microbes from growing.

None of the above
|
Detailed explanation-1: -High temperature slows down the microbes. High temperature prevents the microbes from growing. High temperature prevents the microbes from breathing. Why freezing food helps to reduce food spoilage?
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature can increase the speed at which food deteriorates and spoils. The warmer it is the faster microorganisms, enzymes, molds and yeast are able to grow. By controlling the amount of time that food is in between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit, spoilage can be kept to a minimum.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cold temperatures help foods to stay fresh longer for a longer time. The basic idea behind refrigeration is to slow down the activity of bacteria and fungi (which all food contains) so that it takes longer for these microbes to spoil the food.
