Question

The water activity range required for bacterial growth

• A. 1 to 0.75
• B. 10 to 15
• C. 15 to 25
• D. 25 to 30

Hint:

Water activity is crucial in food science for understanding microbial growth. Foods with lower water activity are less prone to spoilage.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Bacterial growth typically requires a water activity range between 0.75 and 1. Lower values (below 0.75) inhibit bacterial growth, which is important for food preservation.
