• Identify different compounds used as preservatives.

 Analyse the various separation techniques.

1. Sugar, salt, nitrites, butylated hydroxy anisol (BHA), butylated

hydroxyl toluene (BHT), tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), vinegar, citric
acid, and calcium propionate are all chemicals that preserve foods.
Salt, sodium nitrite, spices, vinegar, and alcohol have been used to
preserve foods for centuries.

2. Mixtures can be separated using a variety of techniques.

Chromatography involves solvent separation on a solid medium.
Distillation takes advantage of differences in boiling points.
Evaporation removes a liquid from a solution to leave a solid material.
Filtration separates solids of different sizes.
