Vedclass · Answer

(B) Jams and pickles are preserved by adding high concentrations of sugar or salt (or oil). These substances create a hypertonic environment around the microbes. Due to the process of $plasmolysis$,water moves out of the microbial cells into the surrounding concentrated medium. As a result,the microbial cells lose water,shrink,and eventually die,preventing the spoilage of the food by fungal or bacterial action.
