Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Food spoilage is the undesirable changes that occur in food leading to changes in taste, appearance, and nutritional value. Factors that cause food spoilage include intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors are physical structure, water activity, pH, and nutrient content of food. Extrinsic factors include the process and way of handling the food.
