Food Preservation

Food preservation is the process of preparing food for


future consumption by preventing its spoilage. The
proper storage and preparation of food for future use
has been a major concern not only of the family but
also of the food industry. Food preservation is the
answer to the problem of inadequate food supply as
well as the need for nutritious and palatable meals for
the family.

spoilage. Delay in the use of fresh foods alters its
freshness, taste, and nutritive value thus resulting to
spoilage. Spoiled food becomes unfit for use. Correct

texture of the food. It is also very important to
maintain the sanitation of food
