Abstract :
Food is a very basic requirement for human survival. Food preservation is treating foods to delay its deterioration. It employs any technique to keep food from spoilage after harvest or slaughter. The main idea behind all methods of food preservation is to slow down the activity of disease causing bacteria or kill the bacteria altogether. Understanding the effects of each preservation method on foods is critical in food processing.. In this paper, concepts related to food preservation are discussed. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Tolulope J.
