Food Preservation

Microorganisms spoil food by growing in it. Methods to preserve: 1) Salt โ€” draws out water (dehydrates microbes). 2) Sugar โ€” in jams and jellies. 3) Oil and vinegar โ€” prevent oxygen. 4) Pasteurization โ€” heat to 70ยฐC for 15s (Louis Pasteur). 5) Refrigeration โ€” slows microbial growth. 6) Preservatives โ€” sodium benzoate.
