Sainik Institute LucknowIndian Polity GK AISSEE ExamWith the advent of technology, modern methods of food preservation were developed.Chemicals and other natural substances were used for preservation. These substancesare known as preservatives. Let us discuss some of the methods of preservation indetail.Methods of Food PreservationChemical MethodSalt and edible oils are two main preservatives which are used since ages toprevent microbial growth. This is why we add extra oil to pickles. Preservation bysalt is known as salting. Salting helps to preserve fruits for a long term. Meats andfishes can also be preserved by salting.Other synthetic preservatives include vinegar, sodium benzoate, sodiummetabisulphite, etc.SugarSugar is another common preservative used in jams and jellies. Sugar is a goodmoisture absorbent. By reducing moisture content, it restrains the microbial growth.Heat and Cold MethodsBoiling and refrigeration prevent around 70 percent of microbial growth. Boiling killsthe microorganisms that cannot tolerate extreme temperatures. Thus, it helps infood preservation.Refrigerators have very low temperatures. Since microbes do not get optimumtemperature they need for growth, their growth is inhibited. Pasteurizationdeveloped by Louis Pasteur is used until today to preserve milk.SmokingSmoking prevents dehydration in fish and meat and thus prevents spoilage. Thewood smoke contains a large number of anti-microbial compounds that slow therancidification of animal fats.CanningThe food contents are sealed in an airtight container at high temperatures. Meat,fish, fruits are preserved by canning.Sainik institute Lucknow 09565477302 http://sainikschoolentrance.com/ # 09565477302, 08840527897
