    Food preservation aims to prevent spoilage and retain nutrients by removing moisture through drying, adding salt through salting, freezing at low temperatures, smoking foods, curing meats, pickling vegetables, canning, or adding sugar for jams and jellies. Common preservation methods include drying foods under the sun or with machines, salting foods, freezing, refrigeration, smoking meats and fish, curing meats, pickling vegetables, and canning foods in airtight containers. Food preservation provides nutrition year-round, increases family income by selling excess preserved foods, and makes foods available anywhere through trade.

    FOOD PRESERVATION

    DIFFERENT WAYS OF 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.

    Different ways of preserving food


     Drying- This is the easiest and the most common method. The moisture content of the food is removed.
    Drying under the sun – food is salted and placed under the sun.
    Mechanical dryer – uses artificial heated air with the use of a machine.
    Example: tuyo, pork skin, monggo, shrimp
     Salting – Application of salt to the food to be preserved.
    Example: bagoong, burong manga, mustard, salted egg, fish sauce

     Freezing – This is a quick and convenient way to preserve food such as meat, meat, poultry, and fish, which
    are stored in the freezer until they are to be consumed.
     Refrigeration- Food is kept at low temperature to prolong their freshness.
    Example: eggs, milk, fruits, vegetables
     Smoking – This is a method in which food items such as cured meat or fish is exposed to smoke not only to
    preserve them but also to add flavour and color.
    Example: tinapa, tapa, longganisa , ham
     Curing – This method is done by soaking or injecting meat with preservatives like sugar, salt, and vinegar
    solution.
    Example: longganisa, tocino
     Pickling – Adding pickling solution vinegar, salt, and sugar to vegetables like grated green papaya, ginger,
    carrots, onion, and bell pepper.
     Canning – This is a method in which processed food is placed and sealed in airtight cans.
    Example: sardines, tomato sauce, pineapple sauce
    Different ways of preserving fruits
     Sugar Preservation
    Jam- the fruit is mashed and cooked with sugar
    Jelly – clear fruit juice cooked with sugar, which gelatinizes in cooking
     Sterilization – this process involves using heat to kill microorganisms and bacteria. After sterilization, the
    food item must be stored properly to have shelf life of up to several years.

    Benefits of food preservation


    Food preservation is important for the following reasons:
    1. It contributes to better nutrition for the family by preventing scarcity of food. Balanced meals may be
    attained only if there is a year-round supply of fruits and vegetables
    2. It is a means of increasing the family income. When harvest is abundant and the food supply is more than
    enough for the family, the excess products can be preserved and sold in the market.
    3. It helps in the economic development of the country since the excess foods can be preserved and sold in the
    market.
    4. Foods are made available throughout the year. They may be preserved in preparation for the coming event
    like the town fiesta, Christmas, and other special occasions.
    5. Food preservation makes food or harvest available in places where they are not prepared or grown.
    6. It is profitable as a hobby as well as means of livelihood.
