Some foods spoil quickly because they have moisture and are exposed to air, creating perfect conditions for microbes to multiply. Examples are milk, bread and fresh fruits. Others, like pickles, ghee or dried foods, last longer because preservation methods remove moisture or block air, preventing microbes from growing and keeping food fresh for weeks or months.

For microbes to grow, they need moisture, air and a suitable temperature. These three conditions provide them with the environment to survive and multiply. That’s why preservation methods like drying (removes moisture), airtight packing (removes air) and refrigeration (lowers temperature) are used to prevent food spoilage by making conditions unfavourable for microbial growth.
