FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Canning is a method of food preservation in which food is processed and sealed in an airtight container (jars like Mason jars, and steel and tin cans). Canning provides a shelf life that typically ranges from one to five years, although under specific circumstances, it can be much longer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Canning is a method that sterilizes food by heat in airtight containers to achieve a commercially sterilized product, which allows food to be stored at room temperature while maintaining food safety and organoleptic quality for months or even years.

Detailed explanation-3: -Canning, the process of placing foods in jars or cans and heating properly to a specified temperature, is a way to preserve many different foods. The high heat destroys microorganisms and inactivates enzymes to preserve the safety and quality of the food.

Detailed explanation-4: -Among the oldest methods of preservation are drying, refrigeration, and fermentation. Modern methods include canning, pasteurization, freezing, irradiation, and the addition of chemicals. Advances in packaging materials have played an important role in modern food preservation.
