Answer:

Experiments with cooking food showed that disease-carrying germs in food could be killed when heated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Louis Pasteur's experiment with cooking shows that the microbes that cause the spoilage of food and disease after eaten by an individual, could be killed by the heating process.

His experiment shows that microbes cause food and liquid to spoil, which can be prevented by the process of pasteurization, or heating that kills such germs.
