What conditions are most favourable for microbial food production?
Food
What foods require microbes?
Yoghurt and Cheese
Requires bacteria to develop flavour
milk coagulation
Possible investigation: Effect of temperature on milk coagulation time.
Beer and Wine
Fermentation develops flavour
Conditions
food conditions
nutritent content in food
food moisture

Microbe type
Used for food production
Bacteria
used in yoghurt and cheese
Yeast
used in beer and bread
Production
Depends on the method of production
Fermentation
animals
lactic acid
yeast
ethanol
Possible investigation: Effect of fermentation time on ethanol production
produces CO2 (bubbles)
dependent variable
measure bubble volume with ruler (cm)
Possible investigation: Effect of temperature on yeast fermentation.
Possible investigation: Effect of fermentation time on yeast fermentation.
Favourable
best for growth
Depends on environment
How will this be measured? (DV)
number of microbes present
time taken for microbe growth
What will be changed? (IV)
conditions
change temperature
time
