Food spoilage means the original nutritional value, texture, flavour of the food are damaged, the food become harmful to people and unsuitable to eat.
Food preservation is the science of extending the shelf life of food (slowing down the spoilage process) while maintaining as much as possible of its nutritional quality and avoiding the growth of unwanted microorganisms.
How the growth of microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) on food can cause food to turn bad? As they grow, they release chemical substances into food that cause food to spoil.
Importance of Food Preservation
They also produce toxic wastes that make food poisonous. increases shelf-life of food
Conditions for the grow and multiply of microorganisms
Characteristics of food spoilt by microorganisms
reduces food wastage
adds variety to our meals
makes transportation & storage of foods easier
ensures constant supply throughout the year
reaches areas where the food item is not grown
Food Preservation Methods Food kept in the refrigerator between 4°C and 5°C stays fresh for a longer time as cooling slows down the action of microorganisms.
Pasteurizing (this method was invented by Louis Pasteur in 1862)
Freezing food at a temperature of about -15°C in a freezer does halt microbial growth, but it does not destroy bacteria.
Waxing
The drying effects of smoke and the chemicals produced from the smoke help preserve the food. Used to preserve fish, meat and fruit such as bananas.
Cooling
In this method, milk is heated at a specified amount of heat for a specified length of time to kill the bacteria present in it.
Freezing
Fruit and vegetables are dipped into liquid wax to prevent growth of fungi and loss of moisture.
Smoking
Food is sealed in airtight containers; it helps in keeping away bacteria, unwanted enzymes and oxygen that can destroy the food.
Canning/Bottling
Pickling
Pickling is used to store food by using vinegar or salt brine. It involves processes of fermentation.
When you salt fish and meat (both red and white), you tend to reduce the water concentration and kill the presence of microorganisms.
Salting
Vacuum-Packing
Vacuum-packing process leads to storing food in an airtight environment (bags, packages or bottles) where no air is available for the growth of bacteria and fungi.
Drying keeps all the germs and bacteria’s away from the food as the water content is low. This method is largely used for preserving meat, for examples fish and cuttlefish/ squid.
Drying
In the canning and bottling processes, additives are added for specific reasons. Artificial sweeteners increase the sweetness
Colours enhance or add colour
Flavour enhancers increase the power of a flavour
Preservatives stop microbes from multiplying and spoiling the food
Never Buy
Dented tins may have tiny openings that allow bacteria in.
Food that has expired is no longer safe to be eaten.
Food in rusty tins are contaminated by rust and chemical substances.
Bulging tins mean the contents are already contaminated with bacteria.
Making Opak-Opak
STEP 1 Mix the grated tapioca with starch flour, salt and food colouring to form a paste.
Salting & Drying Fish
STEP 1 Clean the fish.
STEP 3
Overturn the thin layer of paste and place onto the pot lid over the pot of boiling water.
STEP 1
Select from market those duck eggs with slightly green shell as it has better aroma.
STEP 2
STEP 2 Scoop out one tablespoon of the paste onto the top of the pot lid and press the paste to form a thin layer.
Making Homemade Salted Eggs
STEP 2
Sprinkling salt onto the fish.
STEP 3 Shaking/Sieving the fish to remove excess salt.
Wash and clean duck eggs. Prepare concentrated salt solution and set aside to cool.
STEP 3 Place duck eggs in a clean glass jar and add in salt water.
Pickling Mangoes
STEP 1 Peel the skin and clean the mangoes
STEP 2 Put the mangoes into a container with sliced chilies.
STEP 3 Pour in concentrated sugar solution over the mangoes.
STEP 4 STEP 4 Dry the pressed paste under the sunlight for two days.
STEP 4 Dry the fish.
Close the lid and mark the date. Store in room temperature for 14 days. Boil salted eggs for 10 mins before serving.
STEP 4 Close the container tightly and put it aside for a week.
