AI告诉用户,家庭罐装西红柿(酸性)可在沸水浴中处理10分钟,忽略了食谱中添加的洋葱或大蒜等低酸成分中的肉毒杆菌风险
AI tells a user that home-canned tomatoes (acidic) are safe to process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, ignoring the risk of Clostridium botulinum in low-acid ingredients like onions or garlic added to the recipe

根因分析
向西红柿中添加低酸成分(洋葱、大蒜、辣椒、香草)会将pH值提升至4.6以上,使肉毒杆菌孢子在沸水浴处理中存活;混合pH食品需要压力罐装。
English
Adding low-acid ingredients (onions, garlic, peppers, herbs) to tomatoes raises the pH above 4.6, allowing Clostridium botulinum spores to survive boiling water bath processing; pressure canning is required for mixed pH foods.

-
Use a pressure canner at 10-15 PSI (depending on altitude) for the full time specified for the recipe (e.g., 40 minutes for pints of tomato sauce with vegetables).
-
Follow tested recipes from USDA or National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) for mixed pH foods.

常见但无效的做法:
-
70% 失败
Adding lemon juice (1 tbsp per quart) does not sufficiently lower pH if large amounts of low-acid ingredients are present.
-
90% 失败
Boiling water bath for 10 minutes is only safe for plain tomatoes with no added low-acid ingredients; mixed recipes require pressure canning.
-
80% 失败
Testing pH with litmus paper after adding ingredients is unreliable; pH can vary with ripeness and variety.
