Abstract

Food processing dates back to the prehistoric ages when crude processing incorporated techniques such as fermenting, sun drying, preserving with salt, and various types of cooking (such as roasting, smoking, steaming, and oven baking) basically to extend the shelf-life and to improve organoleptic attributes. Such basic food processing involved chemical enzymatic changes to the basic structure of food in its natural form, as well served to build a barrier against surface microbial activity that caused rapid decay.Processed foods are usually less susceptible to early spoilage than fresh foods and are better suited for long distance transportation from the source to the consumer. Processing can also reduce the incidence of food borne disease.
