Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bacterial growth that produces gases and causes bulging of the can at the ends is known as "thermophilic anaerobic spoilage." This type of spoilage occurs when canned goods are improperly stored at high temperatures, allowing heat-resistant, anaerobic bacteria to grow and produce gases that cause the can to bulge. "Flat sour spoilage" refers to the growth of acid-forming bacteria that produce a "flat" taste in canned goods, while "thermophilic aerobic spoilage" refers to the growth of bacteria that require oxygen to grow and flourish in high-temperature environments.
