Bacteria can multiply by a process

called binary fission. This is an
exponential process.

REQUIREMENTS TO MULTIPLY

Food Moisture

Food provides energy and nutrients for Bacteria also needs moisture to grow.
bacteria to grow. Because of this it's probably find bacteria
in foods with high moisture content, such
as cream.
Warmth Time

Bacteria do need certains temperatures Given food, warmth and moisture it's only
to grow. Between 5 °C to 63 °C the known a matter of time for bacteria to grow.
as "Danger zone" takes place, in which
bacteria can multiply faster.

FOOD STORING

Temperature ( fridge & freezer )

In the fridge must be between 1 °C to 4 °C.
In the freezer must be -18 °C.
These temperatures make binary fission more difficult
for bacteria because they take away the warmth and
turn moisture into ice. Once the food is thawed

( )
bacteria will continue to grow.
Temperature hot food

Must be stored at 64 °C or above to guarantee that any

bacteria will grow and multiply in it.
