 Principles and Skills
in Food Preservation
Complete the semantic web below with the foods that
can be preserved. Write your answer on a separate
sheet of paper.
The puzzle below contains foods that can be found in
the community. Look for the possible words that can
be used in preservation. Write your answer on a
separate sheet of paper.
Food preservation is a method of ensuring
healthy food and saving money for a
family. It also provides practices of
preserving fruits and vegetables in
season. Selecting available food such as
fish, meat, poultry products, fruits and
vegetables in your locality is essential.
It is important to have a basic knowledge
of the raw materials, its characteristics
and availability. It also helps improve the
quality and standard of the product that
can meet the demands and needs of the
community.
Selecting Food to be Preserved

When you come to choose a method of food

preservation your choice will depend on a number of
factors from the type of food you are preserving.

The quality and safety of home- preserved foods is

dependent, in large part, on the ingredients that are
used. Selecting the highest product at their peak of
freshness is the first step.
Those that show signs of decay or are heavily
bruised should be avoided.

1. Meat Products

Meat quality is defined by the quality of lean, fat and

the palatability factors. The visual identification of
quality meat is based on color, marbling and water
holding capacity.
Marbling is small streaks of fat that are found within
the muscle and can be seen in the meat cut.
Marbling has a beneficial effect on juiciness and
flavor of meat.

The product should have a normal smell. Any rancid

or strange smelling meat should be avoided. Meat
should appear firm
rather than soft.
2. Fishes

A fresh fish should have no smell. The scales of a

fresh fish are tight on the skin, not lose or falling off
or dried out. They are also bright, reflecting light
easily, and have a metallic look.
The eyes of a fresh fish should be bulging, clear and
shiny, not cloudy or sunken into the head. If the eyes
are cloudy, faded, milky or dull, the fish has aged a
few days and is approaching a nonusable condition.
The gills must be red to pink, not gray or brown.
There should be no slime covering them. The fins
should be intact, moist and resistant to being pulled.
3. Fruits and Vegetables

The choice to buy fresh fruits and vegetables is easy and

affordable. If you are unable to get to a farmer’s market or
there is not one close by, you can go to your local
supermarket.
One tip to make better fresh fruits and vegetable choices is
to look for what is in season. In selecting good, quality,
inexpensive and fresh fruits and vegetables in the market it
should be mature, firm, uniform size and shape, absence of
defects, skin and flesh color.
4. Eggs

There are few things to check to ensure that you

have bought quality fresh eggs. The eggshell should
be clean, rough and should not have any cracks.
The yolk should be round and centered in the whites
and the egg white should be firm. There is also a
quick test for freshness, if you put an egg in a basin,
fresh eggs will stay at the bottom while stale eggs
float.
Answer the following questions.

1. What is food preservation?

2. When can you select the best food to preserved/ processed?

3. How will you know that you bought the quality, fresh and
inexpensive food for preservation?
a. meat
b. fish
c. fruit and vegetable
d. egg
