Results and Discussion

A total of nine bread sample with different substances inside the ziplock bags were used
in this experiment for the researchers to be able to distinguish how the molds formed on the
bread. We observed: bread with lemon, bread with water, and bread without any substance at a
room temperature.

As we observed the bread with lemon juice for 12 days, the molds formed but they are
only few because the natural lemon juice has a terrific fresh smelling solution that can prevent
mildew and mold growth. However, molds were still formed because we stored the bread at
room temperature for 12 days. Temperature affects the growth of molds. Naturally, molds were
slowly formed.

As bread mold is a living organism, it requires moisture and oxygen to grow. The
moisture trapped in the bag is absorbed by the fungus and it grows at a faster rate. However, as
mold is a type of fungi and not a plant, bread mold does not require light for its growth. Molds
were very evident on this experiment because of the factor that it was stored at a room
temperature and also because of the water.
