D What is it?
Food Preservation
Drying
Drying is a food preservation method wherein water is drawn out of
the food either naturally (placing food under the sun) or artificially (using
an oven and setting the drying temperature) under 50-60 oC. The moisture
removal prevents the growth of microorganisms that causes decay, thus,
prevents food spoilage. It can be traced on the idea of Egyptians and an
ancient way of food preservation.
Fruits, vegetables, fish and meat can be dried. It is recommended to
cut the food into small pieces in order to dry quickly. Depending on the
type of food and size, the length of drying time may vary.
Drying Procedure
Freezing
Freezing is placing the food under very low temperature to prevent the
growth of microorganisms and maintaining the freshness and nutrients of
food. Freezing can be used in meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables.
Freezing Procedure
1. Select the foods to be frozen. Make sure that they are fresh and
free from bruises.
2. Wash the foods thoroughly.
3. Peel and cut the food and place it in a container.
4. Place the container inside the freezer. Remove it from the freezer
when the food is ready for consumption.
Salting
It is a method of preserving food by using salt. It is commonly used in
meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.
There are three common methods of salting: dry salting, brine salting
and combination method. In the first method, dry salt is rubbed on fish/
meat directly while in brine salting, the fish/ meat is immersed in concen-
trated brine; this method can be used in producing salted eggs. In combi-
nation method dry salt is rubbed on fish/ meat followed by immerse in
brine solution.
8
D What is it?
Salting Procedure
For dry salting
1. Measure the amount of salt to be used. (For example, 10-kg fish
must use 3-4 kg dry salt)
2. Wash the food to be salted.
3. Place the salt in a container and lay down the food to be salted. Rub
the food with salt. Make sure to cover all the layers of meat/ fish
with salt.
4. Secure the food inside the container.
5. Salting time varies from 3 days to a week, depending on the size and
type of food to be salted.

Tools and Equipment in
2 Food Preservation
Successful food preservation requires usage of the correct tools and
equipment as well as a plan to guide you in the process. This lesson will
help you identify those tools and let you create your own project plan.
Hello! On the previous lesson, you found out what are the different
food preservation procedures that you can used in order to preserve and
process foods. Do you know the different tools and equipment that you
need in food preservation?
Before doing the food preservation process, what do you need to do
first and how are you going to do it?
In this lesson, let us find out the tools and equipment used in food
preservation as well as how to make and prepare a project plan in food
preservation.

Try classifying the following tools and equipment in food preservation
as to their usage. Put them in their proper column.
D What is in?
Identify the food preservation method described. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of pad paper.
1. A technique of placing the food under low temperature to
maintain its freshness.
2. A drying method wherein the food is placed directly under
the sun.
3. A salting procedure that requires mixing an amount of salt
in water where the food will be submerged.
4. A drying procedure that uses an electrical device such as an
oven instead of drying under the sun.
5. A salting procedure wherein the salt is rubbed directly on
the skin of the food.
