He maha nga pūmua he whākōkī e whakaoho ana i ngā tauhohenga matū i roto i te pūkoro. Ko ētahi atu pūmua he mahi hanganga, he mahi pūkaha rānei, pērā ki ērā e hanga ana i te pūtau, he pūnaha o te tākai e pupuri ana i te āhua o te pūtau. He mea nui hoki ngā pūmua ki te tohu pūtau, ki ngā urupare ārai mate, ki te whakapiri pūtau, ki te waka kaha puta noa i ngā ārai, me te huringa pūtau. Ka whai wāhi atu hoki ngā waikawa amino ki te pūngao pūngao pūtau mā te whakarato i tētahi pūtake waro mō te urunga ki te huringa waikawa citric (huringa waikawa tricarboxylic), ina koa he pūtake pūngao tuatahi, pēnei i te huka, he iti, ina pā ana rānei ngā pūtau ki te ahotea pūkoro.  Pātai: He aha te mea tino nui kia ora ai ngā pūtau?
