METHOD OF FARM PRODUCE PRESERVATION

The proper keeping of food until they are needed is called food preservation. Some crop Plants will need to store until the next planting season. To make sure that they are good for planting (viable), they must be properly preserved.

 IMPORTANCE OF FARM PRODUCE PRESERVATION

 AGRIC SCIENCE SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE 

1.    To retain the freshness of the food

2.    To reduce the loss of quality of the food

3.    To prolong the food shelf life

4.    To prevent possible contamination and infection.

 

METHODS OF FARM PRODUCE PRESERVATION

 

The different methods of farm produce preservation are:

(a)  Sun drying

(b)  Smoking

(c) Salting

(d) Frying

(e) Refrigeration

(f)  Canning

(g) Bagging

(h) Bottling

 AGRIC SCIENCE SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE 

(a) Sun drying

Peeled cassava, peeled yam, maize, beans can be preserved by spreading them under the sun. Drying reduce the water content of the food stuff.

AGRIC SCIENCE SECOND TERM LESSON NOTE 

(a) Smoking

Fish and meat can be smoked with coal fire. Smoking dries the meat and fish. These meat and fish can be kept for a long time without getting spoilt.

(a)  

Adding salt to some food stuffs like meat and fish can preserve them for a short period of time. The salt keeps out germs away from the from the food stuff.
