Update #2 on Mold Growth

December 3, 2011

The pumpkin bread has continued to have a fairly large amount of mold growth. These pictures show the mold growth on the 17th day of this pumpkin bread.

 This is the “Old Fashion Biscuit” and you can’t really tell in the picture, but it has a considerable amount of mold growth across the top of the biscuit. It’s almost like a dusty mold. This picture is from  the 29th day.

 This shows a spot of mold growth on the “Buttermilk Biscuit”. This picture is from day 16. So we can see that the buttermilk biscuit, again, grew mold quicker than the Old Fashion biscuit, although it didn’t necessarily grow more.

 Here you can begin to see mold growth on the vanilla cupcake. This is from day 30. The cupcake took longer to grow mold than most of the other breads… I’m wondering if this has something to do with the amount of sugar it has in it… I’m going to research the effects of sugar as a preservative.

 These pictures show the mold growth on the hamburger buns where there were two put in the Ziploc bag. This is day 17, and they’re continuing to grow moold more rapidly than most of the others.

 In the Ziploc bag with only one hamburger bun, a spot of mold has appeared on the bun. This picture is also from day 17.

The Kroger wheat bread still shows NO signs of mold growth!!!!!
