Describe the process of fermentation in swiss cheese

How do meat and poultry spoil?

they are putrefied by decarboxylating bacteria which produce amines with noxious odors More specifically: Meat in the slaughterhouse is easily contaminated with bacteria from hide, hooves, and intestinal contents Muscle tissue offers high water content which supports microbial growth The breakdown of peptides, and amino acids produced the undesirable odorants that defined spoilage Meat also contains fat or adipose tissues that commonly spoil abiotically by autooxidation (reaction with oxygen Finally, lactic acid bacteria and facultative anaerobes can generate short-chain fatty acids which taste sour
