Solution
The following methods of food preservation can be used:
-
Preservation by common salt: Common salt is usually used to preserve meat and fish as it checks the growth of bacteria in these foods. It is also used to preserve amla, raw mangoes, and tamarind.
-
Preservation by sugar: Sugar is usually used to preserve jam, jellies, and squashes. Sugar prevents spoiling of food by reducing the moisture content of food, which inhibits the growth of bacteria in it.
-
Preservation by oil and vinegar: Oil and vinegar are used to preserve vegetables, fruits, fish, and meat. They prevent food from getting spoiled as micro-organisms cannot grow in such an environment.
