 Food Preservation
Food preservation is the process of preparing food
for future consumption by preventing its spoilage. The
proper storage and preparation of food for future use
has been a major concern not only of the family but
also of the food industry. Food preservation is the

 Goal of Preservation
The goal of food preservation is the prevention of
spoilage. Delay in the use of fresh foods alters its
freshness, taste, and nutritive value thus resulting to
spoilage. Spoiled food becomes unfit for use. Correct

texture of the food. It is also very important to
maintain the sanitation of food.
 Food, by nature, is perishable. Without intervention,
food falls victim to the forces of nature, namely bacteria,
yeast, and fungus, and begin to degrade. The effects of
food spoilage are not only unappetizing, but the agents of
spoilage can also cause foodborne illnesses or even death.

these methods are relatively new, many of them date back
to ancient times. We may have refined the processes and
come to better understand the mechanisms, but the basic
concepts remain the same today. Here are a few of the
most common ways to preserve food.

Food preservation is one of the methods to protect
food from unwanted microbial growth. After the food is
produced, we store and protect by covering the rice and
