In the current situation, food preservation has become a very important aspect of our lives. As we see, food production and supply do not always go well with the demand or meets of the people.
Several foods e.g. fruits and vegetables are available in a specific season and are not available throughout the year. At some places, there is a surplus production of a particular food product, while at the same time at different places there is an inadequate supply. Certain foods are highly perishable, they quickly turn bad or deteriorate because of high microbial growth; and semi-perishable like juicy fruits, vegetables, mangoes, tomato, papaya and many more, which very quickly gets spoilt. It is therefore very important in order to maintain seasonal foods intact for later use. This can be done by improving the shelf life of food by maintaining proper storage with effective preservation techniques. Food preservation helps in addressing all of the above-mentioned problems such as: increasing the shelf life of foods; increasing the availability of seasonal foods throughout the year; reducing wastage of food by preventing decay or spoilage of food; etc.
In order to effectively combat with such scenarios, modern age scientists are busy in developing techniques to maintain seasonal foods intact for later use. They believe that effective preservation ensures the availability of food at all times and its supply is maintained. Among various other techniques of preservation, canning is one of the widely used options for the preservation of food. Some examples of foods which can be packed using can packaging include: juices; sweets; fresh fruits & vegetables; fish; meat; ready to eat foods; soups; pet foods; etc.
