| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Food preservation is the process of treating and handling food to stop or slow down spoilage and thus allow for longer storage. Preservation usually involves preventing the growth of bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and other micro-organisms, as well as retarding the oxidation of fats which cause rancidity. The book studies various food preservation methods including sugaring, salting, irradiation, jellying, and potting.
