Microbes in food spoilage

Chemical reactions that produce sensual changes that are offensive in food are controlled by a wide range of microbes that utilize food as a source of carbon and energy source. The organisms that cause these changes comprise prokaryotes (bacteria) as well as single-celled organisms that lack defined nuclei and organelles, as well as eukaryotes unicellulated (yeasts) as well as multicellular (molds) organisms that possess organelles and nuclei.
