PRESERVATION
Get a sheet of paper. List down the food that you often see
at home that is being used for so many days, or stored in
a period of time. Then, answer the given form below.

Food begins to deteriorate from the
time it is harvested or slaughtered.
Each food stuff has a specific period
after which it begins to spoil.
Preservation is needed to slow down
the spoilage process, to extend the
shelf life and ensure the safety and
quality of the food.
 Food Preservation is the process of
treating and handling food to stop or
slow down food spoilage, loss of quality,
edibility, or nutritional value and thus
allow for longer food storage. Some
methods will be taken up in this lesson.
It includes the discussion of different
ways of preserving food such as, drying,
cooling/freezing, smoking, fermentation,
salting, and canning. These methods will
help us in our daily living.
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
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 thus resulting to spoilage.
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 or
methods of Food
Preservation
 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 heat of the sun.
Mechanical dryer – uses artificial
heated air with the use of a machine.
DRYING.
 SALTING
Application of salt to the food
to be preserved.
Example: bagoong, burong
manga, mustard, salted egg,
fish sauce
SALTING
 FREEZING
This is a quick and convenient
way to preserve food such as
meat, poultry, and fish, which
are stored in the freezer until
they are to be consumed.
FREEZING
 PROCESSING
The conversion of raw materials or
ingredients into consumer food product.
Raw foods typically arrive at a food
processing facility in a fragile state. They
must be quickly stabilized to prevent
deterioration. Most non-meat and dairy
product “respire” (breathe) meaning they
use oxygen and sugar and convert it to
carbon dioxide and water.
 CURING
This method is done by
soaking or injecting meat with
preservatives like sugar, salt,
and vinegar solution.
Example: longganisa, tocino
CURING
 PICKLING
Adding pickling solution
vinegar, salt, and sugar to
vegetables like grated green
papaya, ginger, carrots, onion,
and bell pepper.
PICKLING
 CANNING
This is a method in which
processed food is placed and
sealed in airtight cans.
Example: sardines, tomato
sauce, pineapple sauce.
