QUESTION 16 Why does spoiled food become more sour? Spoilage microbes produce acid The nutrients in juice react with its packagi
galben [10]

Answer:

Spoilage microbes produce acid

Explanation:

When food becomes spoiled or is unprotected, bacteria will invade the food. These types of bacteria are called spoilage bacteria. The bacteria will multiply by consuming the nutrients from the food and grows very rapidly. In certain conditions, the invading bacteria will produce acids that protects them and creates a barrier for other microbes. This acid is what gives spoiled food a sour taste.
