Bacterial activity.
Any un-preserved or uncooked foods are vulnerable to food decay.
Bacteria find the food, release enzymes on to the food and then digest the enzymes.taking part of the food away.
Remember bacteria need certain living conditions.
- Moisture
- Non acidic or alkali conditions
- Food
- Oxygen
So methods live salting and sugaring can absorb moisture, killing bacteria. Along with freezing.
Pickling can create acidic and alkali conditions, killing bacteria.

∙ 14y agoIt is said that all types of sugar can cause tooth decay. The most expected sugars to give tooth decay are sucrose, glucose, fructose, and maltose. Bacteria use the energy in the sugar and then make acids which attack teeth and tooth enamel. This then causes tooth decay, which is also known as dental caries. Bacteria in also found in dental plaque and that stick to our teeth, also causing tooth decay. The likeliness of getting dental caries and making cavities expand, increases each time we eat sugary foods. Some people get tooth decay worse than others. This is because: Þ The strength on some people tooth enamel is stronger than others. Þ Some people eat less sugary foods than others generally. Þ Some people look after their teeth better than others so are less vulnerable to get tooth decay. If we have a large amount of sugary foods and drinks in our diet, our mouth will be acidic and will take about 20-30 minutes to return to its normal pH level.

why wet food decay faster than dry food?
Bacteria (which make your food decay) need moisture to live and they thrive in it!
How do microorganisms cause decay?
If you mean the ones in your mouth then this is your answer. Food gets caught between your teeth and the microorganisms feed on this. because they are so small the food passes through very quickly, undergoing a chemical change and becoming an acid. The acid then 'eats' at the teeth causing more chemical reactions causing the blackening and this is how we get the decay.
Where do dead birds go?
They are eaten by decomposers, most bacteria. This is what causes them to decay. The bones are weathered, broken down, and essential the dead bird has disappeared.
What causes diarrhoea in horses?
Eating too much of a food, sickness.
What are the characteristics of eutrophication?
Eutrophication promotes excessive plant growth and decay and causes a severe reduction in water quality. Phosphorus is a necessary nutrient for plants to live, and is the limiting factor for plant growth in many freshwater ecosystems.
Which ingredient in food causes tooth decay?
sugar is the best answer
What domain causes tooth decay and food poisoning?
The domain Bacteria can cause both tooth decay and food poisoning. Dental cavities are primarily caused by Streptococcus mutans, while various types of food poisoning can be caused by bacteria such as Salmonella or Escherichia coli.
What is important in decay?
microscopic organisms are the major causes of decay.
If one tooth decay then it causes to decay other?
No it does't!
Bacteria causes what decay?
All decay is bacterial (except when the term is used metaphorically, as in social decay).
What causes nuclear decay?
The instability of the nuclei is the basic cause of radioactive decay.
What food decay?
Its when Microbes(bacteria and fungi) grow on food causing it to decay and rot.They will multiply while on the food.
What is the organism that causes the decay of dead plant and animal matter?
The term for an organism that causes decay is decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi. they chemically break down organic matter for food. the decay caused by the decomposers is part of a process that produces detritus, small pieces of dead and decaying plant/animal remains.
What causes dead things to decay?
decomposors
why wet food decay faster than dry food?
Bacteria (which make your food decay) need moisture to live and they thrive in it!
How does light affect the rate at which food spoils?
Yes, light makes food spoil faster. Energy causes decay and deterioration. Light is a form of energy,and the more energy exposed to the food, the more quickly food will spoil.
How does nuclear decay affect the atomic number and mass number of a nucleus that changes after undergoing decay?
Beta+ decay and electron capture causes the atomic number to drop by one. Beta- causes the the atomic number to rise by one.Proton emission causes the atomic and mass number to drop by one.Neutron emission causes the mass number to drop by one.Alpha decay causes the atomic number to drop by two and the mass number to drop by four.
