Abstract:
In order to keep food quality at the required level and maximise nutritional benefits, food preservation comprises a variety of food processing techniques. Growing, harvesting, processing, packaging, and distribution of food are all examples of food preservation techniques. The main goals of food preservation are to provide value added goods, provide dietary variety, and combat improper agricultural planning. Numerous chemical and biological interactions could result in food deterioration. Drying, chilling, freezing, and pasteurisation are examples of traditional and archaic food preservation methods that have been promoted to prevent the chemical and microbiological deterioration of foods. The methods used to prevent these spoilages have evolved into a highly interdisciplinary discipline in recent years, becoming more sophisticated. Food items are preserved using cutting-edge technologies like irradiation, high pressure, and nanotechnology. The mechanisms, conditions of use, and a summary of the many food preservation methods are presented and discussed in this chapter. Additionally, this chapter lists various food categories and clarifies the various physical, chemical, and microbial factors that contribute to food spoilage. The experts and researchers working on food processing and food safety will find this article helpful in developing efficient and comprehensive methods to preserve foods.
