Food Preservation
Food
Preservation is a process that
prevents the growth of microorganisms, bacteria, fungi and thus increases the
shelf life of the product. It also slows down enzymatic browning and oxidation
of fats that leads to rancidity. Thus science of food processing ensures that
the food is not contaminated by chemicals or pathogenic microorganisms
and does not lose its original color, flavor, texture and nutritive value. Traditional
techniques used for food processing are curing, cooling, vacuum packaging, freezing,
boiling, potting, heating, sugaring, pickling, lye, canning, jellying, bottling,
jugging, burial, confit and fermentation. Modern techniques include Pasteurization,
Artificial food
additives, nonthermal plasma, Freeze
drying, Hurdle technology, Irradiation, Modified
atmosphere, High-pressure food preservation, bio-preservation and Pulsed
electric field electroporation.
