How long does it take for fruit to grow mold?
im doing a class project and i need some really good answers to this question
Answer:
it depends on the surroundings of said fruit.
it depends on the moisture content of the air around it, the temperature.
If its for a project then the *really* good answer is do the experiment. Get some fresh fruit and leave it for a few weeks and observe it.
Maybe have some undamaged fruit in a cool room. Try varying things like put others in warm rooms or bruise them to see if that makes a difference.
well that depends, if its in the freezer than a loooong time. If its in the sun than not long at all. If its in your fridge then I'd give it 2 weeks or so. It also depends on the type of fruit your talking about, strawberries would grow mold a lot faster than a orange or apple. :)
CHEATER!
it matters what kind of fruit it is and where it is
Like the others have mentioned there are different factors to consider...humidity, temperature, spores present in the air and what I can add is whether the fruit is grown conventionally with the use of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides... or grown organically. The chemicals used will also affect the growth of mold.
I really don't think there is one answer to really satisfy your question...it would have to be answered with a first-hand observation of different environments and different fruit.
Sorry, and good luck!
