Question:

What causes food to decay?

Answer:

Food gets decayed mainly due to decomposition activities of bacteria, fungi etc. Most microorganisms are generally destroyed at high temperature.At a very low temperature, the micro organisms become inactive.

Explanation:

Some of the primary culprits are air, moisture, light, temperature, and microbial growth. Moisture on the outside of food also allows molds and other microorganisms to grow on the outside of food, as well as within any cracks or holes in the surface of the food, further contributing to increased decay.
