Will the meat rot if the weather is too cold?

Meat does not rot, which is mainly related to temperature. If the weather is too cold, it will not rot. Of course, if other conditions are suitable, or the meat is stored for a long time, it will also rot.

Many families have refrigerators to store food. We all know that we have used the refrigerator. If we buy meat, we can put it in the freezer for a few days. If we want to store it for a long time, we can put it in the freezer. The temperature of the cold storage room is generally a few degrees, and the temperature of the freezing room is generally below zero.

Having said that, it is necessary to explain why meat rots. Generally speaking, as long as there is enough oxygen and the temperature is suitable for the reproduction of bacteria and microorganisms, meat will rot rapidly, but it is not easy to rot under low temperature or hypoxia.

Therefore, in the cold room, the temperature is relatively low, bacteria and microorganisms are not very active, and the decay rate of meat will be greatly reduced. Generally, it can be kept for three to five days. In the freezer, the temperature is even lower, and most microorganisms and bacteria stop moving or even freeze to death. Meat can be preserved almost all the time, and it will not go bad after a year or two. However, it is another matter that the meat has been left for so long.

So, in the natural environment, the principle is the same. The lower the temperature, the slower the meat decays. Friends who have lived in the countryside know that if someone dies in hot summer, they will be buried quickly, because in a day or two, the body will start to rot rapidly and smell bad. If someone dies in winter, you can usually prepare for the funeral slowly.

For example, in Siberia, where the temperature is low all the year round, there is even a permafrost zone, where scientists dug up the well-preserved remains of mammoths and even dissected the undigested grass in their stomachs.

You know, mammoths lived millions of years ago and once spread all over the world. Why can well-preserved mammoth bodies be found in the permafrost of Siberia, but not in other parts of the earth? Low temperature is the biggest influence factor,

So in this way, the colder the weather, the less likely the meat will rot. If it is cold enough, it will not rot at all.
