Detailed explanation-1: -What is canning? Canning is a preservation method that involves placing foods in jars or similar containers and heating them to a temperature that destroys micro-organisms that cause food to spoil. During this heating process air is driven out of the jar and as it cools a vacuum seal is formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The method most used in the sterilization of canned foods is humid heat, which uses steam to transfer thermal energy and eliminate microorganisms. This is a system with a short cycle due to the great heat transfer capacity of water vapor.
Detailed explanation-3: -Heat the Jars. Fill the Jars. Remove Air Bubbles. Wipe Jar Rim and Add Lids. Fill the Canner and Lock the Lid. Vent the Pressure Canner. Achieve the Correct Pressure. Depressurize and Open the Canner. 22-Sept-2022
