Mouldy Bread

This was an experiment on a piece of bread to see how mouldy it would go left in a semi-sealed bag. I think we all know that bread goes mouldy pretty quickly if it’s left in its normal packagaing open to the elements, so it was interesting to see how long this bread lasted without going mouldy at all :)

I suggest starting with Mouldy Bread : Day 1.

Or go up to Mouldy Stuff.

    Well,

    Me and my friends are doing an experiment on which bread goes mouldy first out of White bread and Multi-grain Bread…

    What do you think?

    In similar conditions, I’d expect the multi-grain to go mouldy first, the white probably has more preservatives in it.

    I’m doing a similar experiment to the both of you guys.
    well mine is to see which bread out of whitebread,wholegrain and wholemeal causes the most amount of mould over a period of two weeks.
    which do you think will cause the most?

    i am doing this experiment but do not know if the breads should just be left out on a plate to see which brand of bread goes mouldy first or if they should be put in bags… i donno i just need to know the results pretty fast for my assignment

    Fastest would be to leave slightly damp bread in a bag, but don’t seal it in completely or the air wont circulate and it won’t go mouldy it will just dry up.

    I am about to start an experiment on bread and the mould factor..
    would you be ableto help me? what are some useful websites?

    well I had to do this for science and the white bread got mould on it first!!!

    im doing an assignment on the factors that affect the growth of bread mould, can anyone helpp me which factors will affect it?

      You should be able to discover that by reading around. Moisture and air exposure would be at least two factors.

    just curious this has absolutely nothing to do with mould but umm is blogging fun because i was thinking about getting in to it LOL
    plz help me

      It can be fun. It can also take up all your time! Depends really. My advice is just to pick a topic you are interested in and just write about it.

    i have just finshed a science research project on which bread goes moldy first, out of Woolworths or the bakery….. of course the bakery bread went moldy first

    LOL! We used to do this in the site cabin with leftover milk in bottles……they eventually turn in to something that can only be described as a ‘work of art’ all untouched by human hands….scary!

    i am doing a similar experiment but i have added a new twist. i have baked 6 pieces of white bread and added one ingredient to each piece of bread.. the ingredients include wassabi, garlic paste, salt and pepper, alcohol, mixed herbs and a control bread.

    my aim is to see which one grows mold first and what ingredient preserves the bread. I have the bread in an air tight container, they seem to have gone rock hard in two days but no mold. what shall i do ?

    Simplest would be to introduce some moisture into the box, I think.

    well we’re also doing our science fair on which bread moulds faster, except out of homemade, bakery bought, or shop bought.

    Hello Mr. Mist,
    Have you tried applying some cetric juice from a lemon to the bread?

  17. Posted August 20, 2010 at 8:31 am | Permalink

    Well, I did not do any experiments with the mouldy bread but instead for as long as I know those mouldy breads is not wasted. Bakers here in our place make use of it and they sell it with a cheaper price. It also taste good.
