Food Preservation Chart

Food preservation prevents spoilage by creating conditions where microorganisms cannot grow. Methods of food preservation include drying, smoking, salting, pickling, and using sugar. Drying removes moisture from food through natural drying using heat from the sun or artificial drying with heated air in controlled conditions. Smoking exposes food to smoke from burning wood. Salting involves salting food directly or submerging it in a brine solution. Pickling preserves food using a vinegar and spice solution through either simple or fermented methods. Sugar preservation involves cooking fruits in syrup until the water is replaced, which can be used to make jelly, jam, or preserves.

salt, sugar, and other spices.

a sterilized container, a boiling solution with spices is poured
on it directly.

poured directly on the food and allowed to stay for days
until it is fermented or has become sour.
