BREAD MOULD
1.What is a bread mould?
Bread mold is a kind of fungus that is commonly found on bread surfaces. It takes food and nutrients from the bread and causes damage to the surface where it lives. It causes a bad taste to the bread also. But the mold has a place in the industry where it serves as a decomposer that can decompose decayed plants and animals.
2.Pictures of moulds.
4. Where and how should bread be stored to keep it free from moulds?
Maybe not so "fresh" but for real baked bread (not like Wonder Bread) I throw it in the freezer in some freezer Zip Lock bags. When I want to eat it, I wrap it in some foil and throw it in the oven for a few minutes (about 300 degrees and then check after about 10 minutes).
5. What other food might grow moulds?
Luncheon meats, bacon, or hot dogs,Hard salami and dry-cured country hams,Cooked leftover meat and poultry,Cooked casseroles,Cooked grain and pasta,Hard cheese,Cheese made with mold(such as Roquefort, blue, Gorgonzola, Stilton, Brie, Camembert),Soft cheese(such as cottage, cream cheese, Neufchatel, chevre, Bel Paese, etc.) Crumbled, shredded, and sliced cheeses (all types),Yogurt and sour cream,Jams and jellies,Peanut butter, legumes and nuts,Bread and baked goods,Fruits and vegetables, soft(such as cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes, etc.),Fruits and vegetables, firm(such as cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, etc.)
6. Suggest 3 ways to food without the use of refrigerators.
1.When serving food, keep it covered to prevent exposure to mold spores in the air. Use plastic wrap to cover foods you want to stay moist -- fresh or cut fruits and vegetables, and green and mixed salads.
2.Empty opened cans of perishable foods into clean storage containers and refrigerate them promptly.
3.Use leftovers within 3 to 4 days so mold doesn’t have a chance to grow
