CANNING
The food is heated
to a high
temperature. The
food is packaged
and stored in an air-
tight can.
Canning alters food
chemically by
changing the
moisture, pH, or
salinity levels to
protect against
microbes, bacteria,
mold, and yeast.
This allows food to
be shelf-stable and
safe to eat for 1–5
years or longer.
Fruits, vegetables,
beans, soups, meats,
and seafood.
Protein, carbs, and
fat are unaffected by
the process. Most
minerals and fat-
soluble
vitamins like
1. vitamins A
2. Vitamin D
3. Vitamin E
4. Vitamin K

FREEZING
Method of
preserving food by
lowering the
temperature to inhibit
microorganism
growth
Food temperatures
are reduced to below
0°C to decrease the
activity of harmful
bacteria.
Fruits, vegetables,
meat, fish, and ready
meals.
Frozen foods have
more vitamins and
minerals compared to
fresh because fresh
foods lose vitamins
and minerals over
time while freezing
preserves nutrients.

Used in commercial
processing not only
to reduce microbial
hazards, but also to
reduce chemical and
physical spoilage and
to aid processing.
Used as anticaking
agents, chemical
preservatives,
emulsifiers, and
stabilizers, to modify
or improve flavor,
texture, or colors, and
they also may include
nutrients added to
enhance nutritional
value.

changing their diets from animal-based to plant-
based can help eliminate or control diseases like
cancer and diabetes.
