Bloater formation in cucumber fermentation is commonly prevented by

  • A.Raising the temperature of the tank as high as possible
  • B.Leaving the tank open so that air can circulate freely
  • C.Purging the brine with nitrogen to remove dissolved gas
  • D.Adding extra sugar to the brine to feed the bacteria

Answer: C

Sparging with nitrogen strips dissolved carbon dioxide from the brine before it can build up inside the fruit. Purging with air also works but has to be controlled carefully, since it can encourage mould growth and the softening that follows.
