If food is not stored correctly, it will become unfit to eat. Changes are caused by yeasts, mould and bacteria.
Moulds. Not all moulds are harmful. Some are used in food manufacture to produce specific flavours and textures. Moulds are visible to the eye. They reproduce by producing spores which travel in the air and settle, germinate and multiply into new growths. They are harmful only when they produce mycotoxins which are poisonous substances.
Yeasts. Through the process if fermentation, yeasts are used to make bread and alcohol. Yeasts are responsible for food spoilage in high sugar foods such as fruit, jam and fruit yoghurts.
