globules(小球)of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another.The difference lies in what's in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid,says Brocklehurst,who led the investigation.In cream,fatty globules and what's in the surround ing liquid,says Brocklehurst,who led the investigation.In cream,fatty globul es drift about in a sea of water.In butter,globules of a watery solution are l ocked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to li ve 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 revers ed,the bacteria are locked away in compartments (密封仓) buried dee p in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way,individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients.They also slowly poison themselves with their wast e products.”In butter,you get a self - limiting system which stops the bacteri a growing,”says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food com panies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack t hrough alterations to the food's structure.Brocklehurst believes it will be pos sible 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. 36.
