Detailed explanation-1: -Some foods need to be kept in the fridge to help stop or slow down bacterial growth and keep them fresh and safe for longer. Generally, the colder the temperature the slower bacteria will grow, but cold temperatures don’t always stop bacteria growing altogether.
Detailed explanation-2: -High water content (around 74%) and high nutrient content cause microbial spoilage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Food spoilage occurs when there’s a disagreeable change in the normal state of the food. Perishable foods are foods which are likely to spoil, decay or become unsafe to eat if they’re not stored correctly or consumed shortly after purchase. These foods include: meat.
Detailed explanation-4: -Microorganisms, including yeasts, molds, and bacteria, are sensitive to a food’s pH. Very low or very high pH values will prevent microbial growth. As a practical matter, no unprocessed food has a pH value high enough to offer much preservative value.
