Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical

37、composition-a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions-tiny globules of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The diffe

38、rence lies in what s in the globules and what s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to

39、 live in the watery regions of the mixture. This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture, he says. When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and

40、rapidly nm out of nutrients. They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products. In butter, you get a serf-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing, says Brocklehurst. The researchers already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacteri

41、al attack flux)ugh alterations to the foods structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter, The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump. （分数：1.00）(1).The s

42、ignificance of Brocklehursts research is that _（分数：0.20）A.it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservativesB.it discovered tiny globules in both cream and bututC.it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butterD.it found that cream and butter share the same chemica

43、l composition(2).According to the researchers, cream sours faster than butter because bacteria _（分数：0.20）A.are mom evenly distributed in creamB.multiply more easily in cream than in butterC.live on less fat in cream than in butterD.produce less waste in cream than in butter.(3).According to Brockleh

44、urst, we can keep cream fresh by_（分数：0.20）A.removing its fatB.killing theC.reducing its water contentD.altering its structure(4).The underlined word colonies in Paragraph 4 refers to_（分数：0.20）A.tiny globulesB.watery regionsC.bacteria communitiesD.little compartments(5).Commercial application of the research finding will be possible ff salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack _（分数：0.20）A.by varying its chemical compositionB.by turning it into a solid lumpC.while keeping its structure unchangedD.while retaining its liquid form
