The protection of dispersions against micro‐biological contamination during production and storage

Abstract

Dispersions are quite sensitive to growth and attack by micro‐organisms. This presents itself by discolouration of the dispersion, a putrid smell, gasformation and alterations of the physical properties of the pH. Total disintegration such as the dispersion seldom occurs. A contaminated product does not have to show all the above mentioned effects but may show only discolouration.
