Bloater damage in fermented cucumbers is the formation of

  • A.Ropy threads of slime throughout the covering brine
  • B.Gas pockets inside the fruit that hollow it out
  • C.Soft patches on the skin where enzymes have acted
  • D.Dark stains through the flesh of the fruit

Answer: B

Carbon dioxide accumulating faster than it can escape forces cavities inside the cucumber, and the hollowed fruit is unsaleable as a whole pickle. The gas comes chiefly from heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria and from fermentative yeasts.
