Answer 1

Answer:

Factors that can cause food to spoil include microbial, chemical and physical reactions which affect the taste, smell and appearance of a product. Microorganisms are common in foods, especially bacteria, yeasts and molds. These microorganisms are all around us and naturally present in some foods. Refrigerating is the best way for slowing down respiration but do not store them inside airtight containers or store wet. As lack of respiration will speed decay. Onions, garlic and potatoes are best stored in a cool, dry and dark place.

Answer:

Some of the primary culprits are air, moisture, light, temperature, and microbial growth. Most fruits and vegetables spoil easily because of damage caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and molds need water and nutrients for growth, energy and reproduction.
