Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food to prevent spoilage and allow for longer storage. It prevents foodborne illness and increases the availability of foods. Traditional methods include drying, smoking, cooking, pickling, and salting. Modern industrial methods include pasteurization, vacuum packing, irradiation, and high-pressure processing. Common techniques are drying foods to remove water, smoking or salting meat and fish, cooking vegetables, and bottling or canning foods using heat to kill microorganisms.

A process by which certain foods like fruits and vegetables are prevented from getting spoilt for a long period of time. The colour, taste and nutritive value of the food is also preserved.
When you keep fruits, vegetables or left over dal in the
refrigerator or in a cool place, will this be called food preservation? No, because you can store fruits and vegetables or left over dal in this state for a few days only
What are canning and Packaging? Why there is a demand for packed food? Why packaging is important? Factors affecting packaging? What's the importance of labeling?
Food spoilage means the original nutritional value, texture, flavor of the food are damaged, the food become harmful to people and unsuitable to eat.

Food preservation ,any number of methods by which food is kept from spoilage after harvest. Such practices date to prehistoric times .
Among the oldest methods of preservations are drying ,refrigeration , & fermentation.
Modern methods inclues canning, pasteurization ,freezing, irradiation, & the addition of chemicals.
Advances in packaging marterials have played an important role in modern food preservation .
Food is a very basic requirement for human survival. Food preservation is treating foods to delay its deterioration. It employs any technique to keep food from spoilage after harvest or slaughter. The main idea behind all methods of food preservation is to slow down the activity of disease causing bacteria or kill the bacteria altogether. Understanding the effects of each preservation method on foods is critical in food processing.. In this paper, concepts related to food preservation are discussed. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J.

Preservatives in fruits and Vegetables (Chemical and physical, Canning in det...SaiLakshmi891734
The chemicals when added interfere with the cell membrane of the microorganisms, their enzyme activity or their genetic mechanisms. They also act as antioxidants. The common chemical preservatives permitted are
1. Benzoic acid (including benzoates) Sodium benzoate is a salt of benzoic acid and is used in preservation of colored fruit juices and squashes
2. Sulphur dioxide (including sulphites): Potassium meta-bi-sulphite is used as a source of sulphur dioxide when it is added to the juice or squash. When used in fruits with deep colours like blue grapes, jamun, watermelon it bleaches the colour and hence in such cases benzoic acid is desirable.
3. Organic acids and their salts: Foods can be preserved by adding lactic, acetic, propionic, citric acids and their salts. Nitrates and nitrite compounds are used to preserve meat and fish products. It gives desirable colour, flavor and discourages the growth of micro-organ-isms. It also prevents toxin formation by the microorganisms in food.
PROCESS
Selection of fruits and vegetables
(i) Fruits and vegetables should be absolutely fresh.
(ii) Fruits should be ripe, but firm, and uniformly mature. Over-ripe fruits should be rejected because they are infected with microorganisms and give a poor quality product. Unripe fruits should be rejected because they generally shrivel and toughen on canning.
(iii) All vegetables except tomatoes should be tender.
(iv)Tomatoes should be firm, fully ripe and of deep red colour.
(v) Fruits and vegetables should be free from dirt. (vi) They should be free from blemishes, insect damage or mechanical injury.
INTRODUCTION
Canning is defined as preservation of foods in hermetically sealed containers and usually implies heat treatment as the principal factor in prevention of spoilage.
Canning was invented by Nicholas Appert in 1910 so also termed as Appertization.
Foods that are canned
Low acid foods: Meat, fish, poultry, dairy fall into a pH range of 5.0 to 6.8. This large group is commonly referred to as the low acid group.
Acid foods: With pH values between 4.5 and 3.7. Fruits such as pear, oranges, apricots and tomatoes fall in this class.
High acid foods: Such as pickled products and fermented foods. The pH values range from 3.7 down to 2.3, also Jams and Jellies are in this classification.
PRINCIPLE OF CANNING
Destruction of spoilage microorganism within a container by means of heat.
