Food Spoilage

Question 1

What are the most common bacteria genra found in fresh MEAT? (10)

Answer 1

Lactic Acid Bacteria
Pseudomonas
Micrococcus
Brochothrix
Straphylococcus
Enterobacteriaciae
Actinobacter

Question 2

Why was the review done?

Answer 2

It was done to discuss methods on how to prevent food spoilage and also what causes food spoilage

Question 3

What contributes to food spoilage

Answer 3

Temperature
Ph
Microbial viable count load
The types of microorganisms that are on the food
How it was processed 
Water availability

Question 4

What was the future research suggestion found in the paper

Answer 4

There was evidence that not all the microorganisms present would contribute towards food spoilage so future research should look into the natural flora and the food spoilage microorganism interactions

Question 5

What type of microorganisms were found to spoil cooled poultry?

Answer 5

Pseudomonas
Lactic Acid Bacteria
Enterobacteriaciae
Brochothrix

Question 6

How is lamb meat spoiled

Answer 6

Through Clostridium
Enterobacteriaciae
Pseudomonas
Brochothrix
Shewanella

Question 7

Which microorganisms spoil BEEF

Answer 7

Carnobacterium
Brochothrix
Lactoccoccus

Question 8

Would you consider that the Seafood could spoil faster than meat?

Answer 8

Yes, I would
 have a microbial load count of 10^6
Meat normally has 10^2-10^4
Recommended count is 10^7-10^9
High microbial load=more prone to spoilage

Also has high pH and temperature and that speeds up the spoilage process especially post harvesting
