Mold is widely distributed. It can be said that it has strong reproductive capacity and strong metabolism. It will rapidly spread in suitable growth environment. The main component is that it accounts for more than 50% of the film composition. It is a protein that is extracted from animal skin and bone and is easily eroded and deteriorated. The protein in the mold is good. In addition, gelatin has strong water absorption, which provides natural conditions for the growth and propagation of fungi. The life activities of fungi can not be separated from water, and the propagation of mold is closely related to the environment. Low, poor reproductive capacity, mold can breed and reproduce on film under suitable conditions.
