Principles of Food Preservation A good method of food preservation is the one that slows down the agent that cause spoilage. Also, during the process of food preservation, the food should not be damaged. Removal of micro-organisms or inactivating them. This is done by removing air, water (moisture), lowering or increasing temperature, increasing the concentration of salt or sugar or acid in foods. If you want to preserve green leafy vegetables, you have to remove the water from the leaves so that microorganisms cannot survive. You do this by drying the green leaves till all the moisture evaporates. Removal of insects and worms. By storing foods in dry, airtight containers the insects or worms are prevented from destroying it.
