StarStarStarStar

Pickling

StarStarStarStar

Use vinegar with sufficient acidity (usually 5% or higher), process jars in a boiling water canner, and use pickling salt to prevent cloudiness.

StarStarStarStar

Fermenting

StarStarStarStar

Use proper salt concentration to inhibit unwanted bacteria, keep foods submerged in brine, and store in a cool place to slow down fermentation.

StarStarStarStar

Freezing

StarStarStarStar

Freeze food promptly for best quality, avoid freezer burn by using proper containers or wraps, maintain a consistent freezer temperature at 0°F (-18°C) or below.

StarStarStarStar

Canning

StarStarStarStar

Ensure proper sealing to prevent botulism, sterilize jars and lids, use correct canning methods (water bath or pressure canning) for different foods.

StarStarStarStar

Salting/Curing

StarStarStarStar

Use appropriate amounts of salt and curing agents, avoid cross-contamination, and cure foods at the recommended temperature and humidity levels.

StarStarStarStar

Drying/Dehydrating

StarStarStarStar

Use clean and dry equipment, ensure thorough drying to prevent mold, store in airtight containers in a cool and dark place.

StarStarStarStar

Chemical Preservation

StarStarStarStar

Use food-grade chemicals, follow the recommended concentrations and applications, and ensure thorough mixing for even distribution.

StarStarStarStar

Sugaring

StarStarStarStar

Boil sugar solutions to the proper temperatures to prevent microbial growth, seal preserves while still hot, and store in a cool, dark place.

StarStarStarStar

Pasteurization

StarStarStarStar

Heat foods to the specified temperature for the correct duration to kill pathogens, cool rapidly after pasteurization, and seal containers properly.

StarStarStarStar

Pulsed Electric Fields (PEF)

StarStarStarStar

Use for liquid or semi-solid foods, ensure correct field strength and treatment time, and maintain food under refrigeration after treatment.

StarStarStarStar

Controlled Atmosphere Storage

StarStarStarStar

Maintain proper gas concentrations (O2, CO2), monitor for gas leaks, and regulate temperature and humidity within the storage area.

StarStarStarStar

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)

StarStarStarStar

Select the right gas mix for the type of food, ensure integrity of the package seal, and store under recommended conditions.

StarStarStarStar

Vacuum Packing

StarStarStarStar

Inspect the seal for leaks, refrigerate or freeze foods after vacuum sealing, and reheat vacuum-sealed foods to the proper temperature before consuming.

StarStarStarStar

Irradiation

StarStarStarStar

Only use on foods approved for irradiation treatment, process under controlled environments to prevent overexposure, and store appropriately after treatment.

StarStarStarStar

Aseptic Processing

StarStarStarStar

Maintain sterile conditions during processing, quickly cool the product after heating, and use sterile packaging materials.

StarStarStarStar

Refrigeration

StarStarStarStar

Store foods at or below 40°F (4°C), separate raw and cooked foods to prevent cross-contamination, and cover foods properly to prevent drying out and absorbing odors.

StarStarStarStar

Bottling

StarStarStarStar

Sterilize bottles and caps, fill while contents are hot to create a vacuum seal, and store in a cool, dark place after sealing.

StarStarStarStar

Ultraviolet Light (UV) Treatment

StarStarStarStar

Ensure that UV exposure is sufficient to inactivate pathogens, protect eyes and skin from UV light during treatment, and use on foods that can tolerate UV light without quality degradation.

StarStarStarStar

Microwave Preservation

StarStarStarStar

Ensure even distribution of microwaves to prevent cold spots, use microwave-safe containers, and allow for stand time before consuming to ensure heat distribution.

StarStarStarStar

High-Pressure Processing (HPP)

StarStarStarStar

Ensure a uniformly applied pressure to kill pathogens, maintain refrigeration after processing, and use HPP on foods that can withstand high pressure without quality loss.

StarStarStarStar

Smoking

StarStarStarStar

Smoke foods at the recommended temperatures, use hardwoods to avoid harmful chemicals, and do not over-smoke to prevent carcinogen buildup.

StarStarStarStar

Sous-vide

StarStarStarStar

Cook at precise temperatures to ensure pathogen destruction, rapidly chill after cooking if not consuming immediately, and maintain vacuum-packed bags to prevent contamination.

StarStarStarStar

Jamming and Jellying

StarStarStarStar

Use high-acid fruits, sterilize all containers and utensils, and seal while the jam or jelly is hot to ensure a vacuum seal.

StarStarStarStar

Cold Plasma

StarStarStarStar

Use this technology for surface decontamination, monitor treatment time to prevent food damage, and treat in a controlled environment to ensure safety.

StarStarStarStar

Biopreservation

StarStarStarStar

Use cultures that are safe to consume, apply cultures in appropriate amounts, and ensure that the storage temperature is ideal for the cultures used.
