Definitions for "Ropiness"
The heat-resistant spores of a very common bacterium, Bacillus mesentericus –also known as the potato bacillus – are responsible for causing bread to go bad as a result of ropiness, the so-called potato disease. After baking, the surviving spores germinate to form bacteria and degrade the crumb, which becomes increasingly liquid and draws out into slimy threads when the bread is broken. The spores enter the flour from the field through the grain, but they may also find their way into the dough from infected walls and equipment at the bakery. _Top of page
