Principles of food preservation_ Dr. Soniasoniaangeline
This document discusses principles and methods of food preservation. The main objectives of food preservation are to remove unwanted matter, make food safe for consumption, and extend shelf life. Basic principles include preventing microbial growth through techniques like refrigeration, freezing, drying, heating or adding preservatives. Common methods are physical (e.g. cooling, heating), chemical (e.g. adding salts, acids) and biological (e.g. fermentation). The goal is to inhibit spoilage using a combination of preservation techniques.
Curing and smoking meat involves adding salt, nitrites, and other ingredients to preserve and flavor meat. Curing ingredients like salt, sugar, and nitrites inhibit bacterial growth and develop color and flavor. Meats are cured through dry curing, liquid curing, or injection before being cold or hot smoked using hardwoods to further flavor and preserve the meat. Proper smoking techniques and temperatures are required to safely cook meats while imparting smoke flavors.
The document discusses various techniques for preserving meat, including freezing, chilling, canning, drying, salting, irradiation, smoking, and dehydration. Freezing is one of the most popular techniques since World War 2 and works by stopping microbial growth at low temperatures. Other methods like chilling, canning, and smoking aim to extend shelf life by reducing or eliminating spoilage microbes. Each preservation method has advantages like longer storage periods but also disadvantages such as changes in texture or nutrient loss. Overall, the techniques allow meat to remain safe for human consumption longer than without processing.
This document discusses various methods for canning and preserving meat, including the canning process, types of containers used, thermal processing, and potential causes of spoilage. The key steps in canning include preparation of raw materials, filling containers, exhausting air and sealing, thermal processing to achieve commercial sterility, cooling, labeling and storage. Canned foods can potentially spoil due to microbial growth if underprocessed or due to chemical reactions. Methods for preserving meat also include irradiation and use of antibiotics.
Hurdle technology uses a combination of preservation methods to make foods shelf-stable while maintaining quality and safety. It involves using multiple hurdles like reduced moisture, increased acidity, refrigeration, or addition of preservatives that microorganisms must overcome to grow. The hurdles work synergistically so that microbes cannot adapt to or overcome all of the preservation factors simultaneously. This allows foods to be processed more gently and minimally while still achieving a long shelf life.
This document discusses various food preservation techniques including curing, pickling, smoking, and membrane technology.
Curing involves adding salt to foods like meat and fish to draw out moisture through osmosis and prevent microbial growth. Pickling uses brine or vinegar to preserve foods. Smoking uses wood smoke to flavor and preserve foods through its antimicrobial properties. Membrane technology uses semipermeable membranes to separate components of a liquid feed based on size, retaining some materials while allowing others to pass through. These techniques help extend the shelf life of foods through moisture reduction, acidification, or antimicrobial action.
Chilling and freezing are methods of food preservation that use low temperatures to slow microbial growth and chemical reactions in foods. Chilling involves storage between 0-15°C to extend shelf life by retarding bacteria, enzymes, and chemical changes. Freezing at below 0°C stops nearly all microbial and chemical changes by freezing water in foods into ice crystals. Quick freezing produces smaller ice crystals and less damage than slow freezing. Both methods maintain quality attributes better than other preservation methods, though texture changes can occur. Low temperature preservation is effective for long-term storage and retains more nutrients and sensory properties compared to other techniques.
Food processing extends the edible time frame of foods through various preservation methods like drying, salting, curing, fermentation, freezing, smoking, canning, pasteurization, refrigeration, and freezing. These processes inhibit bacteria, molds, and yeasts through techniques like removing moisture, adding chemicals, or controlling temperature. Proper food safety considers hazards from pathogenic microorganisms and spoilage organisms and controls factors like pH, temperature, moisture, and protein content to prevent contamination and deterioration.
This document discusses various food processing methods used to preserve foods, including heat processing, freezing, canning, drying, and refrigeration. Heat processing methods like blanching, pasteurization, and sterilization are used to destroy microorganisms and enzymes through conduction, convection, or radiation heating.

Drying foods through reducing water activity also prevents spoilage. Each method aims to preserve sensory and nutritive properties while ensuring safety.
The document discusses food preservation through cold chain methods. It explains that food preservation aims to retain foods for longer periods without contamination or loss of quality by using techniques like freezing, refrigeration and cold storage. Cold chain ensures temperature-controlled storage and transport of foods from farms to processing to distribution and retail locations to maximize shelf life. Key methods discussed are freezing, refrigeration, pre-cooling and maintaining cold temperatures throughout the supply chain.
Meat refers to the skeletal muscle from animal carcasses used for food. The main composition of meat includes 20% protein, 8% fat, 1-2% glycogen, 1% ash, and 70% water. After an animal's death, rigor mortis causes the limbs to stiffen due to chemical changes in the muscles. Various preservation methods can be used for meat, including cooling, freezing, drying, irradiation, curing, smoking, and packaging. Curing involves the addition of salt, sugar, and nitrites or nitrates to meat and is commonly used today for flavor enhancement and color development rather than solely for preservation.
This document discusses concentration and dehydration of foods. It provides methods for concentrating foods like fruit jelly and candied fruits by partially removing moisture. Dehydration removes almost all water from foods down to 5% moisture. Methods for dehydrating foods include sun drying, hot air drying, microwave vacuum drying and osmotic dehydration. Water activity is defined as the ratio of water vapor pressure in a food to pure water vapor pressure and influences microbial spoilage and texture. Moisture sorption isotherms relate water content to water activity and may exhibit hysteresis.
Freezing food involves lowering the temperature so that water inside the food freezes into ice crystals. This process is known as freezing and involves three stages: cooling the food below its freezing point, water changing state to form ice crystals, and further cooling to the freezer temperature for preservation. The rate of freezing impacts crystal size, with fast freezing producing smaller crystals and maintaining food quality better than slow freezing. Proper frozen storage is also important to prevent quality loss from physical, chemical, biochemical, and microbial changes over time. Maintaining temperatures lower than -18°C can help secure food quality and avoid issues like recrystallization according to the time, temperature, tolerance theory of frozen food storage.
Hurdle technology involves using two or more preservation methods together to inhibit microbial spoilage of foods. It allows for safer, stable foods without refrigeration. Common hurdles include reduced pH, increased salt content, reduced water activity, and heat processing. The hurdles work synergistically by disturbing the microbes' homeostasis. This technique is widely used in products like jam, fermented vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy. It improves safety and quality while reducing costs compared to using single preservation methods. However, some limitations exist in fully understanding and applying hurdle effects in practice.
This document discusses packaging materials for processed foods. It outlines several types of materials used including plastics, metals, glass, wood, paper and their derivatives.

This document provides an overview of basic food science and preservation techniques. It discusses key topics like shelf life, factors that affect perishability, the relationship between pH and shelf life, and various preservation methods. These include canning, pasteurization and types, freezing and types, drying and classification, and blanching. The principles and effects of these techniques on food quality are also reviewed. The overall document serves as an introduction to fundamental concepts in food science and preservation.
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.
Preservation involves preventing the growth of microorganisms like bacteria, yeast and fungi to prevent food spoilage. It maintains the color, taste and nutrients of food. Microorganisms, enzymes and insects/rodents cause spoilage. Preservation methods remove or inactivate microbes through processes like drying, curing, refrigeration and freezing or use of chemicals like salt, sugar and vinegar. Other methods are pasteurization, radiation and packaging foods airtight. The document discusses the various preservation techniques used to extend the shelf life of foods.
The document discusses various methods of food preservation including preservation by high temperature. It describes pasteurization as applying heat to destroy pathogens and spoilage microorganisms, inactivating enzymes, and reducing spoilage microorganisms. Pasteurization temperatures and times are provided for different foods like milk. While pasteurization reduces microbes, it does not sterilize food so additional preservation methods are needed to extend shelf life.
Food preservation methods have evolved significantly over time. Early methods involved drying, salting, sugaring, pickling and cold storage which helped extend the edible timeframe of foods but were primitive and tedious. More advanced modern techniques like canning, pasteurization, refrigeration and freezing allow any food to be available anywhere by changing raw products into stable forms that can be stored for longer periods. Proper food preservation helps make foods last longer, taste better, provide more variety and be more convenient while reducing the risk of deterioration and spoilage from microorganisms.
Food spoilage results from microbial growth that alters foods visually and makes them unsuitable for consumption. Various preservation methods are used to inhibit microbial growth and activity, including preventing access of microbes, removing microbes, hindering microbe growth through drying, refrigeration, canning or chemical additions, and killing microbes through heating or radiation. Common preservation methods include drying, salting, smoking, refrigeration, freezing, canning, irradiation, and addition of chemical preservatives.
WHAT IS SPOILAGE? • Spoilage is the process in which food deteriorates to the point in which it is not edible to humans or its quality of edibility becomes reduced OR • Any change which renders a product unacceptable for human consumption. • Complex event in which a combination of microbial and biochemical activities may interact. • One of the major reason that led to preservation.
FACTORS DETERMINING THE SPOILAGE • Microbial colonization depends on – characteristics of product – The way processed – The way stored • Factors are characterized into four: – Intrinsic parameters – Extrinsic parameters – Modes of preservation and processing – Implicit parameters
INTRINSIC PARAMETERS • Physical, chemical and structural properties. • Inherent in the food itself. • Important factors include water activity, acidity, redox potential, available nutrients and natural antimicrobial substances. EXTRINSIC PARAMETERS • Factors in the environment where food is stored • Temperature, humidity and atmosphere conditions.
MODES OF PRESERVATION AND PROCESSING • Physical or chemical treatment • Change characteristics of food product • Determine the micro flora associated with the product IMPLICIT PARAMETERS OR MICROBIAL INTERFERENCE • These are the result of the development of synergistic or antagonistic microbes • It can be said as the destruction of one organism by another species releasing H2 O2 , bacteriocin and other di-acetyl compounds.
• Synergistic: Production or availability of essential nutrients due to the growth of certain organisms, which allow the growth of another group which were otherwise unable to grow. • Antagonistic : Competition for essential nutrients, changes in pH value or redox potential or formation of antimicrobial substances.
TYPES OF SPOILAGE Two types of Spoilage: • Microbial spoilage • Non- Microbial Based on rate of spoilage: • Highly perishable – Meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, most fruits and vegetables. • Semi perishable – Potatoes, some apple varieties, nutmeats • Stable or non-perishable – Sugar, flour, dry beans
SPOILAGE OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES • The organism responsible for taints are acid tolerant bacteria: – Lactobacillus spp. • Deterioration can be caused by action of animals, birds, bruising, wounding, cutting, freezing, dessication or other mishandling and growth of microorganisms; environmental conditions, contact with spoiled foods. • Microbial spoilage maybe due to: – Plant pathogens acting on stems, leaves, flowers or roots – Saprophytic organisms
• Types of spoilages: – Bacterial soft rot • Caused by Erwinia carotovora, ferment pectins • Pseudomonas marginalis, Bacillus and Clostridium cause water soaked appearance, a soft, mushy consistency and bad odour. – Anthracnose • Caused by Collectotrichum lindemuthianum. • Spotting of leaves and fruits – Black mold rot • Caused by Aspergillus niger • Dark brown to black masses of spores of the mold termed as smut
• Rhizopus soft rot – Caused by species of Rhizopus – Soft and mu
A Review on Recent Advances of Packaging in Food IndustryPriyankaKilaniya
Effective food packaging provides number of purposes. It functions as a container to hold and transport the food product, as well as a barrier to protect the food from outside contamination such as water, light, odours, bacteria, dust, and mechanical damage by maintaining the food quality. The package may also include barriers to keep the product's moisture content or gas composition consistent. Furthermore, convenience is vital role in packaging, and the desire for quick opening, dispensing, and resealing packages that maintain product quality until fully consumed is increasing. To facilitate trading, encourage sales, and inform on content and nutritional attributes, the packaging must be communicative. For storage of food there is huge scope for modified atmosphere packaging, intelligent packaging, active packaging, and controlled atmosphere packaging. Active packaging has a variety of uses, including carbon dioxide absorbers and emitters, oxygen scavengers, antimicrobials, and moisture control agents. Smart packaging is another term for intelligent packaging. Edible packaging, self-cooling and self-heating packaging, micro packaging, and water-soluble packaging are some of the advancements in package material.
