PRESERVATION
In different times of the year,
some foods are abundant
especially fruits and vegetables.
Consequently, when these
foods are not consumed, they
get spoiled and wasted. There
are times when these foods are
hard to find in the market and,
thus, they become expensive.
Lack of food supply and
wastage of excess foods are
problems that can be solved by
food preservation.
Food Preservation and its
goal
Food preservation is the
process of preparing food for
future consumption by
preventing its spoilage. 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.
The goal of food preservation
is the prevention of spoilage.
Delay in the use of fresh foods
alters its freshness, taste, and
nutritive value. Spoiled food
becomes unfit for use. Correct
food preservation techniques
can prevent spoilage and retain
the nutritive value, natural color,
and texture of the food. It is also
very important to maintain the
sanitation of food.
