Basic and Commonly used Methods of Food Preservation
Drying – is the oldest method known for preserving food. When you dry food, you expose the food to a temperature that’s high enough to remove the moisture but low enough that it doesn’t cook. Good air circulation assists in evenly drying the food.
Sun Drying – is the evaporation of water from products by sun or solar heat, assisted by movement of surrounding air.
Electric Dehydrator- is the best and most efficient unit for drying, or dehydrating, food.
Salting - preserves food by adding very high amount of salt. It removes the moisture and creating an environment unsuitable for microbial growth.
Freezing – a method for preserving fresh foods. Extreme cold retards growth of microorganisms and slows down enzyme activity, preventing food spoilage and undesirable texture, flavor and color.
Processing - A special solution made from vinegar, brine, ethanol and other types of oil is used to preserve certain kinds of fruits, vegetable and meat.
