Capitolo 26, Problema 1

Intrinsic factors affecting food spoilage are properties of _______ rather than _______.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Understand the concept of intrinsic factors in food spoilage: these are properties inherent to the food itself.
Recognize that intrinsic factors are characteristics of the food, such as pH, moisture content, nutrient content, and natural antimicrobial substances.
Contrast intrinsic factors with extrinsic factors, which are related to the environment surrounding the food, like temperature, humidity, and storage conditions.
Identify that the blank spaces in the sentence correspond to 'the food' and 'the environment' respectively.
Therefore, intrinsic factors affecting food spoilage are properties of the food rather than the environment.
