    Humidity / Water: Temperature Scale For Bacteria

    Uploaded by

    Microorganisms need certain nutrients like water, proteins, sugars, minerals and vitamins to live and multiply. They thrive in foods that are excellent sources of these nutrients, such as meats, fish, milk and vegetables. However, they are unable to grow in environments that are too dry, salty, or acidic, as well as in frozen or refrigerated conditions. Temperature also greatly impacts microorganism growth - most grow best between 30-37°C and will die if heated above 65°C. Controlling temperature, moisture and other factors can inhibit microbial growth in foods.

    Micro organisms need certain food in order to live and to

    multiply themselves. These are water, egg white, sugar,


    minerals and vitamins. Especially meat, poultry, fish and milk
    are an excellent source for micro organisms. Also in
    vegetables, fruits, salads, pastries and desserts they feel
    comfortable, even when packed vacuum. If we add at food
    ingredients large amount of sugar or salt, the grow and life
    of bacteria will be stopped, or will continue, but very slow.
    The process of developing will be delayed. That’s why there
    are no bacteria in sweet, sour or salty foods like jam, syrup,
    vinegar, pickles or dried and salted meat or fish. They also
    do not grow in dry goods as grains, flour, herbs and milk
    powder. However, if dried products will get wet, than the
    bacteria can develop themselves and multiply very fast. Mold
    and yeast are the first micro organisms that will develop.

    Humidity / water

    Just like humans, micro organisms need water. A humid


    environment helps them to grow and multiply. Without water
    micro organisms cannot exist and they will die if a product
    becomes dry.

    Temperature

    Micro organisms live within a certain temperature range.


    Every micro organism has a minimum and maximum
    tolerance of temperature, and a temperature where they feel
    very comfortable and multiply very fast. Most disease
    causing micro organisms need at least a minimum
    temperature of 10 gr. C, and a maximum temperature of 50
    gr. C, and they feel best and perform optimal at a
    temperature of 30 gr. C to 37 gr. C.
    There are a small variation of bacteria that prefers
    temperatures that are around 5 gr. C to 10 gr. C, or prefer 55
    gr.

    C to 65 gr. C. At low temperatures (7 gr. C) like in a


    refrigerator the grow of bacteria will go very slow. In frozen
    condition (-20 gr. C) they do not grow at all, but some
    bacteria do not die at this temperature, so one should be
    very careful when defrosting food products, they still contain
    bacteria, and they will develop as soon as the temperature is
    better (10 gr. C to 50 gr. C) Most bacteria die if the
    temperature will go higher than 65 gr. C.
    So, most cooking methods kill the bacteria by temperature. It
    is therefore advisable to keep the food stored at
    temperatures above 55 gr. C or below 7 gr. C.
