Question

why micro organism can not grow in food items with sugar syrup

Answer 1

Answer:

High sugar concentrations cause the bacterium to lose water by osmosis and it doesn't have any cellular machinery to pump it back in against the osmotic gradient. Without enough water, the bacteria can't grow or divide.

Answer 2

The microorganism can not grow in food items with sugar syrup because:

• Microbial development is suffocated in several ways by salt and sugar.
• Simple osmosis, sometimes called dehydration, is the most frequent.
• Salt or sugar, whether solid or liquid, tries to balance the salt or sugar content of the food with which it comes into contact.
• This draws available water from the food's interior to the exterior, introducing salt or sugar molecules into the food's interior.
• As a result, the product water activity, which is a measure of unbound, free water molecules in food that are required for microbial survival and growth, fall.
