Foods are preserved by:
• Drying
• Osmotic pressure (salt or sugar)
• Fermentation

Commercial Sterilization to Destroy
C. botulinum Endospores
• 12D treatment kills 1012 endospores
• Surviving endospores of thermophilic anaerobes cause
spoilage with gas
• Or flat-sour spoilage

Food Preservation
• Presterilized materials
assembled into packages
and aseptically filled
(Aseptic packaging)
• Gamma radiation kills
bacteria, insects, and
parasitic worms
• High-energy electrons

Cheese
• Curd: solid casein from
lactic acid bacteria and
rennin
• Whey: liquid separated
from curd
• Hard cheeses
produced by lactic acid
bacteria
• Semisoft cheeses
ripened by Penicillium
on surface

Alcoholic Beverages and Vinegar
• Beer and ale are fermented starch
• Malting: Germinating barley converts starch to maltose
and glucose
• Yeast ferment sugars to ethyl alcohol + CO2
