How do Food Preservatives affect the growth of Microorganism? | By: Aya Zbedah | | December 15‚ 2008 | | Mrs. Hafell 5th Period Biology | 2008-2009 | | Abstract How Food Preservatives affect the growth of Microorganisms? Aya Zbedah Ballard High School The purpose of this project is to see which preservative will either slow down the growth of bacteria or speed up the growth using the three most common preservatives: sugar‚ salt and‚ vinegar. Humans usually have a problem keeping their

solution of cane or beet sugar until sufficient water has been evaporated to give a mixture which will set to a gel on cooling and which contains 32-34% water. Gel formation is dependent on the presence in the fruit of the carbohydrate pectin‚ which at a pH of 3.2 - 3.4 and in the presence of a high concentration of sugar‚ has the property of forming a viscous semi-solid. During jam boiling‚ all micro-organisms are destroyed within the product‚ and if it is filled hot into clean receptacles which are

This experiment shows the effects of changing the pH level has on Catalase. As predicted‚ the farther away the pH levels got from the optimum pH (7.2)‚ the lower the reaction rate. At a pH of 7.2‚ the foam of the reaction measures 6cm. At a ph of 3 it measures 2.5 cm‚ at a pH of 5 it measures 2.75 cm‚ at ph 9 it measures 2.3 and at 11cm it measures 2cm. pH measures the hydrogen ion concentration of a substrate. By changing the pH of the catalase‚ the enzyme was denatured. Denaturing is the result

BA14 0XB SUMMARY This paper looks at the theoretical development of a natural preservative system using the author’s data base on medicinal plants as a source of references. The legal aspects of this concept are considered. The traditional methods of preservation‚ many taken from the food industry are summarised. The use of alcohol‚ glycerine

Armadillium vulgare taxis response to different pH levels. Abstract The terrestrial isopod‚ Armadillium vulgare is commonly referred to as a slater or pill bug. Since transitioning from the sea to land and originally colonizing in Mediterranean regions‚ it has adapted throughout evolution to inhabit local microhabitats. The pill bug is bound by several parameters and also has specific requirements that need to be met for optimal biological functioning. As such‚ behavioural and physiological

lab is to determine the pH level of common household products. Introduction Liquids are either acidic‚ basic‚ or neutral. We are able to figure out which one it is based on properties‚ along with the pH. Acids taste sour‚ and bases taste bitter. Using the pH scale‚ you are able to know how strong of an acid or base a liquid is. High concentration of [H+] ions means that the liquid has a low pH. Therefore a liquid with a low concentration of [H+] would have a high pH. A pH of less than 7 represents

The effects of pH on mung beans Gloria Cheng Winsy Cheung Lily Wong Christine Yen January 15‚ 1998 Abstract This experiment explores how different pH environments affect the growth of mung beans. The mung beans were grown in water with various pH levels‚ consisted of pH levels 5‚ 6‚ 7‚ 8‚ and 9. A replicated design was used consisting of 3 runs for each pH level. The following results are listed in order of pH levels allowing most growth to least growth of the mung beans: 7‚ 8‚ 6‚ 5‚ and 9. These
