      CHAPTER 1: The Need to Preserve Food

      Fruits and vegetables are grown and livestock fed on it and humans depend on both for daily nourishment.  From the time the fruits and vegetables are harvested and livestock slaughtered till the time these are converted to a scrumptious meal, what happens to these raw materials? All living things contain microorganisms. Living things are able to naturally control any adverse effect of these microorganisms when alive. But when living things die, these microorganisms, namely, bacteria, fungi or yeast begin to multiply, setting off food spoilage, rendering it unsuitable for human consumption.

      Foods can also be contaminated by microorganisms at any time during harvest, storage, processing, distribution, handling, or preparation. The primary sources of microbial contamination are soil, air, animal feed, animal hides and intestines, plant surfaces, sewage, and/or utensils. Typical food spoilage microorganisms include Bacteria (e.g. Lactobacillus), mold (e.g. Rhizopus) and Yeast( e.g. Saccharomyces). Additionally, physical /mechanical damage like tearing of plant or animal tissue during harvesting or slaughtering releases endogenous enzymes.

      The living tissues of plants and animals maintain a balance of enzymatic activity. This balance is disrupted upon harvest or slaughter which results in degradation of cellular material.  This may be evident as the food begins to lose its flavor, color and texture and most importantly, nutritional value. The food develops off flavors and deteriorates in texture. Oxygen from the atmosphere reacts with food constituents causing rancidity (unpleasant odor or taste) or food discoloration.

      Infestations by pests, namely, insects and rodents may also lead to food spoilage and enormous losses in food stocks. Hence, to avoid such losses, food needs to be preserved or kept safe from the above mentioned factors so that it remains edible and nutritious.  Food preservation typically involves methods for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms as well as retarding oxidation that causes rancidity. Furthermore, to prevent enzymatic browning (seen in apples after cutting), food has to be preserved to keep it fresh.

      Keeping in mind the requirements of microbes that cause food spoilage, and the factors that can help maintain the freshness, odor, texture, color and nutritive value of a food product, several preservation processes have developed over the centuries, which may employ one of these means or a combination of these:

      •  the application of heat

      •  the removal of water

      •  the lowering of temperature during storage

      •  the reduction of pH

      •  the control of oxygen and carbon dioxide

      Some foods that need to be kept preserved for an elongated period of time need to be processed adding to its flavor, nutritional value and appearance.  In many cases these changes have come to be seen as desirable qualities – cheese, yogurt and pickled onions being common examples.

      CHAPTER 2: Preserving Food – The Science Behind It

      Bacteria and fungi (yeasts and molds) are the principal types of microorganisms that cause food spoilage and food-borne illnesses.  To prevent bacterial and fungal growth, we should be aware of factors affecting their growth.

      •  Temperature and pH play a significant role in controlling their growth rates. Bacteria may be classified into groups based on their temperature requirement for optimal growth: thermophiles (55°–75° C, or 130°–170° F), mesophiles (20°–45° C, or 70°–115° F), or psychrotrophic bacteria (10°–20° C, or 50°–70° F). In addition, most bacteria grow best in a neutral environment (pH equal to 7).

      •  Both yeasts and molds are able to grow in an acidic environment (pH less than 7). The low pH of fruits is generally unfavorable for the growth of bacteria, but yeasts and molds can grow and cause spoilage in fruits. Yeasts promote fermentation in fruits by breaking down sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.

      •  The amount of available water in a food product is also critical for the growth of fungi and bacteria (and this varies from species to species, some bacteria can withstand high solute concentration).  Hence, growth of these microbes can be controlled by lowering their water activity- either by adding solutes such as sugar, glycerol, and salt or by removing water through dehydration .

      •  The amount of oxygen also affects bacterial growth.  Some bacteria grow only in the absence of oxygen (anaerobes), some can grow only in the presence of oxygen (aerobes) and some can grow in the presence or absence of oxygen.

      •  Fungi reproduce by producing spores. These are light and can be carried by wind and when they fall on a suitable substrate, they begin to germinate and multiply exponentially. Bacteria, too, produce endospores when conditions for survival become unfavorable.  Endospores are highly resistant to heat, chemicals, desiccation (drying out), and ultraviolet light. The endospores may remain dormant for long periods of time. When conditions become favorable  for growth (e.g., thawing of meats), the endospores  germinate and produce viable cells that can begin exponential
