Margarine samples of salt content of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% were tested on the mold inhibition effect.
Growth of mold, giving out of the smell of ester. A.V. and P.O.V. were determined 10 times, every 3 days after preparation of the samples.
The results obtained were as follows:
1) Growth of mold was already observed at the first check on every salt free sample, and at the third or forth check, on the samples of 1% content, never observed apparently, however, on the samples of more than 3% content.
Strength of the smell of ester corresponded with the moldiness of a sample in general.
However, little smell of ester and fermentive smell were given out by the growth of
Asp. usamii and by
Rhizopus, respectively.
2) Samples of salt content of up to 2%, by the growth of
Pen. roqueforti, Pen. caseicolum and
Asp. awamori, and those of up to 3%, by
Asp. usamii, resulted in the increase of their A.V.
No increase of A.V. was observed of the samples of larger salt content for the molds mentioned above.
In care of
Rhizopus, however, increase of A.V. was independent of the salt content. P.O.V. had nothing to do with the growth of the molds.
3) The more moldy a sample was, the higher in A.V., I.V. and I.V. -Th. V. the less in S. V., the lower in m. p. and the paler in color the recovered oil was.
