How long does it take apple juice to have mold?

The time it takes for apple juice to grow mold depends on several factors, including the temperature, oxygen exposure, and presence of mold spores. Here's a general timeline of how mold can develop in apple juice:

Room temperature (20-25°C):Mold spores can start to germinate and grow within 24 to 48 hours if the juice is exposed to air. Visible mold growth may appear on the surface within 3-5 days.

Refrigerated (4°C):Mold growth is slowed down significantly at refrigeration temperature. It can take several days or even weeks for mold to become noticeable. However, it's still important to discard any juice that shows signs of mold.

To prevent mold growth in apple juice, keep it refrigerated and tightly sealed in its original container or a clean, airtight container. Avoid leaving the juice exposed to air for extended periods. Discard the juice if you notice any mold growth.

Note that while mold growth is unsightly and can compromise the flavor of the juice, consuming a small amount of mold is generally considered safe. However, if you have a weakened immune system or health concerns, it's best to avoid consuming juice with visible mold.
