The most reliable way to judge whether a vegetable fermentation is safely preserved is to

  • A.Judge the sourness by tasting a sample of the brine
  • B.Count the days that have passed since it was started
  • C.Check that the surface shows no visible growth
  • D.Measure the pH and confirm it is sufficiently low

Answer: D

Correct answer: Measure the pH and confirm it is sufficiently low

The pH is what actually determines safety, so it is what should be measured. Taste is subjective and unreliable, elapsed time says nothing about whether the fermentation succeeded, and an absence of visible growth is consistent with a batch that never acidified at all - which is the dangerous case.
