Q 4) Write the summary for the given passage                       ( 5)

                         Just how and why do foods spoils? Why does fish go rotten, butter turns rancid milk sour, and pears sleepy? Basically, there are two means by which food spoilage occurs.  One is by the growth of microorganisms on the outside, and the other is by chemical changes on the inside. Microorganisms such as yeasts, molds, and bacteria are always present in the air around us. They settle on food and if the conditions are right begin to break it down.  Some yeasts tend to make food ferment.  They change sugar into alcohol, which then turns into acid, making the food taste sour.  Molds tend to grow on moist foods. You have probably seen the greenish-colored mold on bread and cheese.  It starts as tiny white spores and grows into a greenish mass, on the surface at first and then gradually right through. The food develops a musty taste. The sour and musty foods are not necessarily harmful. But some kinds of bacteria spoilage can be dangerous.  Certain bacteria produce toxins that cause food poisoning. the worst thing about them is that they may be present even where there are no outward signs of decay. Botulism is the most deadly form of food poisoning of this kind.  It is almost always fatal. But the toxins are destroyed by cooking, as are most toxins. Chemical spoilage may occur as a result of several processes.  Contract with the air oxidizes foods, such as butter, which contain fats and oils and makes them rancid. Substances called enzymes, which are present in all living things are responsible for food spoilage, too. Their action, if limited, is beneficial. For example, they act on meat to make it more tender.
