What You Need to Know
Techniques such as sous‑vide, high‑pressure processing, fermentation, freeze‑drying, and spray‑dry microencapsulation manipulate temperature, pressure, and microbial metabolism to retain vitamins, generate organic acids, and inactivate pathogens, thereby extending shelf life and enabling valorisation of food waste.
The Science
