or fishery products are done with the use of processing equipment in accordance with set standards.
HISTORY OF CANNING
Birth of Canning. In 1809, the French were the first to can fish. Canning was invented after prolonged
research by Nicolas Appert of France in response to a call by his government for a means of preserving food
for army and navy use. Appert’s method consisted of tightly sealing food inside a bottle or jar, heating it to a
certain temperature, and maintaining the heat for a certain period, after which the container was kept sealed
until use. Appert won 12,000 francs offered by the French government because he was the only person who
served canned products for the army and navy during the Napoleonic war. Moreover, Appert was the first to
put up a cannery in France for its high quality products known as “House of Appert”.
It was 50 years before Louis Pasteur was able to explain why the food so treated did not spoil: the heat
killed the microorganisms in the food, and the sealing kept other microorganisms from entering the jar. He
discovered that nutritive values of food are retained if sufficiently heated in closed container.
In 1810 Peter Durand of England, acquired a British patent on the use of tin-coated iron cans for
preserving vegetables, animals and other perishable foods. By the year 1820 he was supplying canned food to
the Royal Navy in large quantities.
Early Canning in America. European canning methods reached the United States soon thereafter,
and that country eventually became the world leader in both automated canning processes and total can
production.
Ezra Daggett started canning in the United States. He canned oysters, lobsters and salmon in New
York. In 1819, Thomas Kensett, first to obtain patent on canning of sea foods in New York. Isaac Winslow, a
sea captain was the first to can corn in the United States. He sterilized packed corn by boiling it in water.
In 1860, the first cannery was established by Thomas Duckwall in Cincinnati, Ohio, for canning of
tomatoes. Later, he canned peaches, strawberries, and similar products. In California, the first canneries were
first established about 1860 by Cutting and Provost. These two canneries packed fruits in tin cans and glasses.
These two industries in California had been well developed and surpassed with other states along this line.
In the late 19th century, Samuel C. Prescott and William Underwood of the United States set canning
on a scientific basis by describing specific time-temperature heating requirements for sterilizing canned foods.
William Underwood was the first food packer in the United States in 1820. He learned preserving and pickling
food from England in the factory of Mackey and Company in London. He was the founder of William
Underwood Company of Boston, Massachusetts.
Charles Alms – discovered the tight-rubber sealing compound in the bottom edge of the glass cover.

Piers Angilbert – invented the pressure cooker.
Development of Canning in the Philippines. The first Filipino to undertake serious work in canning
was the late Maria Y. Orosa, formerly of the Bureau of Science. Manuel L. Roxas joined the National
Development Company’s branch in Guagua, Pampanga, engaged in food processing particularly on the
canning of fish and vegetables. Later, he established his own processing company, The Rose Pack Company”
engaged in the canning of pork and beans.
At present, there are many cannery established in the Philippines such as; “Ligo”, “Asahi”, “555”,
“Family’s Brand”, “Century Tuna”, “Young’s Town”, “Saba”, “Master”, “Fresca”, “Lucky 7”, “Blue Bay”,
“DF”, “Purefoods Hormel Company”, “Del Monte” and “Dole”. These canneries were established in different
towns or cities all over the Philippines.
Canning is the application of heat to food in hermetically sealed container either in tin cans or glass
jars, at a given time and temperature enough to destroy microorganisms likely to cause spoilage. In other
words, canned products packed in glass jars are called canned goods not bottle products because the principle
involved in canning states application of heat to food in hermetically sealed container either in tin cans or
glass jars at a given time, for instance, 90 minutes, and temperature, for example, 240 ̊F, enough o destroy
microorganisms likely to cause spoilage.
Canned goods packed in glass jars are different from bottled products like coke, pepsi cola, sprite,
royal, beer and many others because they are not hermetically sealed. Bottled products can simply be open by
can opener or spoon unlike canned products which is difficult to open by can opener or spoon because they
are hermetically sealed.
The container to be used in canning must be sterilized to destroy all microorganisms (bacteria, molds,
yeasts) that might still be present in the food contents. A vacuum inside the can is necessary for the following
reasons: 1. to prevent chemical reaction and iron base of the tin plate; 2) to prevent spore formation of aerobic
bacteria; 3) to maintain the concave position of the can ends; and 4) to minimize rancidity of the products
during storage.
Canning preserves most of the nutrients in foods. Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are unaffected, as
are vitamins A, C, D, and B2. The retention of vitamin B1 depends on the amount of heat used during canning.
Some vitamins and minerals may dissolve into the brine or syrup in a can during processing, but they retain
their nutritive value if those liquids are consumed.

Before you go any further, try to study the meaning of some terms, which you may come across as
you read through this learning module.
canning industry – the economic activity concerned with the canning of the raw materials
cannery/ canning plant - a processing establishment wherein handling, preparation and processing of fish or
fishery products are done with the use of processing equipment in accordance with set standards.
lay out – the plan, design or arrangement of something laid out a canning plant in detail
sardines – a young or small herring-like fish
tons – a great quantity of something such as fish or other materials
dingley– most common non-round cans used as container for canned foods
club - a tin can container
nobbing – removing the head and gut from fatty fish such as herring by partially severing the head and
pulling it away.
The method for canning sardines in oil is often called the raw packaging method which contrasts
with the method in which the sardines are thermally treated before packing into cans.
The processing plant related to the description has a capacity of 15 tons raw fish per 8 hours. The
overall yields is approximately 50% of the weight of raw fish. See Figure 1 "Layout for sardines in oil,
cannery" which shows a plant of this capacity.
10
Figure 1. Layout of Sardines in Oil Canning Plant
One ton of raw sardines is required to produce 5 200 (5 263) 1/4 club cans, packed into 52 cases of
100 cans each or 5 800 (5 882) 1/4 dingley cans packed into 58 cases of 100 cans each.
The operations after the thawing of the frozen fish or after transporting the fresh fish from the chill
store are as follows:
1. The sardines are size-graded by an automatic grading machine which selects sardines to suit the size
of cans used in the plant.
The number of sardines per can permitted for various can types is given in Table 1.
11
1/16 oblong 2 layers 8 sardines 14 sardines
1/4 club 1 layer 4 sardines 8 sardines
2. After grading, the sardines are discharged onto a conveyor for transportation to the nobbing machine
where the head and guts of the fish are removed. On a typical nobbing machine, the fish are placed on
continuous belts with one fish in each compartment. The belt feeds the fish to a cutting wheel which
cuts the head, and together with the guts, draws it away from the body with rollers. If necessary the
tails are cut in the same operation.
The packers examine the fish to ensure complete removal of guts. Loss of weight during nobbing is
approximately 21%.
Nowadays there are also nobbing machines with greater capacity, served by four or more operators,
which can complete following operations:
The automatic nobbing/packing machine has a capacity of 35-80 cans per minute and requires
approximately 50% of the manpower required by a traditional canning line (Perovic, 1983).
4. The sardines are then transported, usually by a conveyor, to a brining machine. The brining can either
be a batch or a continuous operation. The speed of the process and the concentration of the brine can
be controlled. The fish are loaded into the brining unit in one end where they are immersed in
concentrated salt solution, and then screwed through the unit and simultaneously brined. The fish are
then discharged at the opposite end of the unit.
Salt is absorbed by the flesh; a salt content of about 1-2% of fish weight, when in boxes is acceptable.
The brining machine is equipped with a filter to screen particles from the brine.
In addition to giving the product the desired salt content, brining has other beneficial effects. The
process brightens the appearance of the fish by removing remaining slime and also toughens the skin;
when unbrined fish are canned much of the skin adheres to the can.
After brining, the fish are allowed to drain before being transported to the packing table.
The brine must be prepared from salt which does not contain large quantities of magnesium chloride,
a common contaminant in unrefined salt. The brine should be replaced regularly as otherwise it
becomes a source of contamination.
5. After the brining process the sardines are packed (manually or automatically) into pre-washed cans.
A manually operated packing line is equipped with conveyor belts, the speed of which can be altered
in order to ensure a smooth supply of sardines and cans to the packers. The filled cans and waste are
removed by the conveyor after packing.
In common sardine lines the filled cans pass over a weight control unit to a can aligner and then to a
can pusher, which automatically feeds the conveyor transferring them to the pre-cooker.
Change of yield during the packing process depends on the quality of raw material, but on average 5%
loss of weight is expected.
6. A typical flash cooker for sardines consists of 2 sections, one for cooking (in steam at about 95 °C)
and one for drying (in hot air at about 130 °C). The cans with the open end upwards are automatically
transferred to crates, which are hanging on crossbars mounted on a continuous chain conveyor running
in slings up awards into the cooking section, and into slings downwards in the drying section.
Between the two sections water is drained from cans as the crates are turned through 360° around a
tumbler. The heat in the cooking section is obtained from supply of direct steam while the heat in the
drying section is indirectly supplied from a heat exchanger. A fan located on the top of the section
circulates the heated air. Weight loss during this operation is approximately 25 %.
7. From the cooker the cans are automatically transferred onto a conveyor which takes then to the oil
dispenser and onto the seaming machine where they are sealed.
8. Before the retorting process the cans are washed to remove fish residues and oil from the outside of
the containers.

LET US STUDY
Let us define
Before you go any further, try to study the meaning of some terms, which you may come across as
you read through this learning module.
cannery/ canning plant– a processing establishment wherein handling, preparation and processing of fish or
fishery products are done with the use of processing equipment in accordance with set standards.
proprietor – the owner of a cannery or a holder of property.
Return of Investment (ROI) – it means that the investment’s gain compare favorably to its cost; or the cannery
gains profit or not.
raw materials – the natural unprocessed material that is used in a manufacturing process.
sales talk– intended to persuade someone to buy, accept or do something.
public relation - good relationship of a manager to the public.
17
ventilation – the provision of free air to a room or building.
1. Initial Capital. It is the most important factor in the establishing a cannery. The proprietor of the
cannery should have sufficient capital to finance the operation of a cannery. For instance, buy lot;
construct buildings; buy vehicles, equipment and machinery; purchase of supplies and materials; salary
of personnel and many others. Return of investment (ROI) of initial capital be enjoyed after two years
time operation if canned products are very much salable and profitable.
2. Supply of Raw Materials. Supply of raw materials such as fish and other fishery products are
abundant in the locality where cannery is situated. In case of typhoon, substitute materials such as
fruits, pork, beef, chicken and vegetables are also abundant in the locality to have continuous operation.
Likewise, quality of raw materials should be fresh as possible during the canning operation
because the condition of raw materials is only maintained in canning.
3. Buildings. Building is the third factor to consider in establishing a cannery. There are many buildings
to be constructed in a canning plant. For instance, refrigeration and cold storage building, laboratory
building for canning operation, living quarters building for personnel, office and man by others. Each
building has at least two comfort rooms, one for men and one for women.
4. Market and marketing. The market in buying the raw materials should be near as possible to the
canning plant so that the condition of the raw material are still in good quality and transportation cost
is minimal.
Likewise, marketing of the products should be fast in order to revolve the capital. Personnel of
good sales talk are assigned in the marketing division for easy disposal of the products. Fast disposal
of the products means good return of investment.
5. Water supply. A canning plant should have a good water supply to clean the raw materials, wash the
finished products, wash the utensils, clean the laboratory and comfort rooms and many others. For
drinking water personnel, the plant has mineral water for sale.
6. Refrigeration and cold storage facilities. Refrigeration and cold storage facilities are also important
factor in establishing a cannery for storing of raw materials as soon as they arrive in the plant to
prevent from spoilage. As stated earlier, refrigeration and cold storage should be placed in a separate
building in a plant and has permanent personnel to manage.
7. Transportation. It is necessary that a canning plant should have many vehicles for easy transport of
raw materials and products. Vehicle in getting the raw materials is different from vehicle marketing
the products. The latter, vehicle is new model and descent to attract the buyers. Likewise, the
manager’s vehicle is also latest model especially he is transacting business to different businessmen.
The quality of vehicle tells the personality of the manager.
The manager is the highest ranking official in a canning plant. He is expert in all the
activities in a plant and has good public relation (PR) with his subordinates, visitors, businessmen,
18
politicians, people in the community and many others. He oversees that the whole plant operates
smoothly.
The supervisors are of two groups. One group is assigned to look into the canning operation
of all the divisions and the other is sale’s supervisors with good sales talk in marketing the products.
The division chiefs are assigned to spearhead the activities of the division he is assigned. For
instance, if he is assigned in the processing division, the chiefs is in-charged for the temperature and
pressure of the products to be processed as well as sealing of containers, cooling, washing and wiping
the products. His forte is fish processing technology or post harvest fisheries.
The technicians should check if equipment, machinery and other facilities are in good condition
ready for operation.
For every division, there are laborers to perform the job. The laborers assigned in each division
are major in fish processing technology or post harvest fisheries.
The clerks are assigned to encode reports and other related works.
The security guards are assigned to safeguard all the properties of the canning plant.
The drivers are assigned to drive the vehicles of the canning plant. It is advisable the drivers
have living quarter inside or near the plant for easy service in case of emergency.
The janitors are assigned to take of all sanitary measures in the canning plant.
9. Machinery. The canning plant has adequate machinery for easy and comfortable operation of the
project. For instance, retort, pressure cooker, conveyor, can sealers, electric grinder, weighing scale,
washing equipment, cooling equipment, labeling equipment, packaging equipment and many others.
10. Lighting and ventilation facilities. The cannery should have adequate lighting and ventilation
facilities so that the personnel can work smoothly in a well-lighted and ventilated atmosphere. If
possible all rooms are air-conditioned especially the plant deals on food and no fear that perspiration
of laborers and other personnel should drop on the food.
11. Sanitation facilities. The canning plant has complete sanitation facilities so that no flies and dust can
enter into the plant. Fish waste like bone meal, head, tail and viscera will not be thrown or discarded
but they will be utilized into fish value added products. Garbage should be burnt in dumping pit.
Cleanliness in the plant should be maintained to attract the businessmen and consumers.
12. Packaging materials. The packaging materials such as tin cans, glass jars labels, boxes and many
others should be adequate in a cannery. Tin cans should be enamel-coated to free from corrosion.
Labels should be attractive because these serve as show window to consumers and businessmen.
II. Enumeration
Directions: Enumerate what are being asked. Write your answer on your activity notebook.
1. Give examples of packaging materials used in canning fish and fishery products.
