淀粉粘合剂易受微生物污染和侵蚀（变质）。其结果可能是结合粘合剂的粘度损失。粘度损失会对质量和生产率产生重大不利影响。简而言之，除非采取以下预防措施，否则粘合剂制备、储存和循环系统可以充当大型发酵系统，因为淀粉，尤其是提供粘度的煮熟或载体部分，可以为微生物提供食物来源。

The starch adhesive is subject to microbial contamination and attack (spoilage). The result can be a loss of viscosity of the combining adhesive. Viscosity loss can have significant detrimental effects on quality and productivity. In short, unless precautions such as the following are taken, the adhesive preparation, storage and circulation system can act as a large fermentation system, since starch, especially the cooked or carrier portion that provides viscosity, can provide a food source for microbes.
