The treatment of food to significantly slow spoilage
• Microbial • Enzymatic • Light • Heat
• Inevitability • Time x temp • Multifactorial w/components
1. Dehydration • Drying / Freeze drying • Sugar / Salt • Heat / Vacuum
2. Fermentation & Pickling • Acidulation • Seeding
3. Direct Microbial Suppression • Chemicals (Acids, Antioxidants) • Smoking
4. Canning & Freezing 5. Packaging
Transformation Creates All These…

1. F&Vs are ‘self‐destructive’ in that they have ______________ which will destroy their tissue from the inside, out.
2. __________ and ___________ will destroy _______________. _________________ will only slow them down.
• eg. canning (w/ w/o pressure), and freezing
3. __________ is the physical principle that enables dehydration. • Eg Brining and candying • ∴ thickness matters. 2x thickness ~ 4x time.

1. The Heat • Hot Smoking (~225F)
• Cooks • Flavors
2. Acid from the Smoke • Cold smoking (~40F)
• Flavors
3. Some other Preservation • Brine • Cure
• The Flavors • Carbonyls • Phenols
• Humidity • Meat is ~ 70% water… ∴

Sweet or Sour Pickles 1. Bring brine + aromatics to a simmer
2. Pour over ingredients
Fermented Pickles 1. Combine ingredients 2. Store unsealed in a cool, dark place ~2wks
3.Check that solids remain submerged in exudates
Sugar Preserves 1.Cook all ingredients on low heat until tender and surfaces near‐dry.
