Chindie Posted April 10 VT Supporter Share Posted April 10 13 minutes ago, T-Dog said: I did not know that. So is it moisture that makes meat go off? Very interesting this. Sort of. Meat goes off through a few avenues, the main ones being bacteria, mould and oxidation. Bacteria need moisture to survive, without that the vast majority will die or be unable to infect the meat. Mould is similar, though iirc they are able to survive in much drier environments, though again in a completely dry environment they'll struggle to take. Oxidation is a chemical process that you can't truly halt, but again with a dried meat it's greatly slowed. Historically meat was salted to dry it but salt also alters the chemical makeup of the meat in a manner that also makes it harder for bacteria and mould to survive. Other types of preservation work similarly, pickling, spicing in some respects, etc. Nothing lasts forever of course but in theory you can keep a lot of dried meats for very long times, especially if you keep it in optimal conditions, and all that would realistically happen would it would slowly, potentially very slowly, lose it's quality. Realistically it would eventually go off, it'll eventually gain enough moisture from the air or have things like fats go rancid, or (much less likely) it desiccates entirely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a quote yesterday on some new flavours for Pepsi Max (sadly I'm not at liberty to reveal those flavours , its not James Bond stuff but I have to be careful disclosing potentially sensitive stuff ... someone (not me ) leaked info once and a competitor beat my client to launch ) but I said to the client in our discussions, I've mixed Pepsi Max with Apple before and its the nuts and you should look into it that said , I think Coke did launch an apple flavour back in 2018 but only in Japan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I'm sure there's been Apple flavoured Coke in the UK before, didn't they have a little phase of releasing loads of 'quirky' flavours around a World Cup or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
