  1. Thermal Preservation

  2. Heat Processing • Transfers heat into the food, thus destroying bacteria and enzymes which can cause the food to spoil.

  3. Blanching • To suspend food in boiling water for a short time to kill the enzymes in the food. • This process is used to prepare vegetables and fruit for freezing. • Foods which might be blanched: • a. peas • b. butterbeans • c. corn

  4. Pasteurization • To apply a low heat which will destroy pathogenic microorganisms and stop enzyme activity. • Increases the shelf life of foods. • Does not cause much change to the look, taste or feel of the food.

  5. Foods which may be blanched: • Eggs (eggnog, mayonnaise, caesar salad dressing) • Milk/milk products • Beer/wine • Fruit juices

  6. Commercial Sterilization • A. Used for canned food products (both • commercial and home canned) • B. Destroys microbes that can cause spoilage, produce toxins or cause food borne illness. • C. Allows food to keep for up to two years- sometimes longer.
