I think many people have encountered such a problem, as the the appearance of white deposits in the banks with cucumbers. This phenomenon may be as a consequence of natural fermentation, cucumbers closed when without added vinegar, or signal the appearance of the real mold.
In the first case, the formed lactic acid, so these cucumbers will not cause harm to human health - before eating enough vegetables rinsed under running water. If the bank was white, cucumbers which were closed with vinegar, then a snack to put on the table is no longer possible - mold certainly will not bring benefits to our body.
In this article I will discuss the most common causes that trigger the appearance of white deposits in banks with Cucumber - thanks to this you will be able to work on the mistakes and keep cucumbers from the mold in further.
So, the first thing I would like to say - impermeability- or rather, lack thereof. If the lid on the jar insufficiently screwed, through the voids formed in the air will penetrate cucumbers. This can lead not only to the fact that the lid will be oxidized, but also cause the formation of harmful microorganisms to humans.
Further proceed to the sterilization processAs it is often at this stage and allowed the main mistake - bad sterilized jars and lids. It's simple - from falling into the jar of dirt cucumbers begin to thicken and whiten.
Another condition for good conservation - strict compliance with all of the ingredients and proportionsAs cucumbers can whiten and from it. Especially pay attention to the vinegar and citric acid - they who play a major role in this.
Yes, I will tell more about themselves and cucumbers - varieties should be chosen correctly, For dessert or salad for preservation well, does not fit.
And finally, a few words about iodized salt and the storage preservation. Though such a salt, and added to food, but twists it is better not to use - give preference to regular table salt. But banks need to be stored only in the basement, where the temperature ranges from 0 to 5 degrees.
