Canned Food Testing

Food canning is to put the processed food into tinplate cans, glass cans or other packaging containers, sealed and sterilized, so that the food in the tank is isolated from the outside world and will no longer be contaminated by microorganisms. At the same time, most of the microorganisms in the tank (that is, spoilage bacteria and pathogenic bacteria that can grow in the tank environment) were killed and the enzyme was inactivated, thus the main cause of food failure was eliminated, and the preservation method of long-term storage at room temperature was adopted. Thus, the canned food, manufactured through this process, can be preserved at room temperature for a long time. The inventor of canning technology was the French Nichols Apppert. In 1795, the French government offered a large reward for the preservation of military food for the need of war. Nichols Apppert's research succeeded in 1804. Nowadays, as a convenient, healthy, nutritious and safe food, canned food is more and more widely recognized by consumers, and the demand for it is increasing year by year. Ensuring the quality and safety of canned food is not only a prerequisite for canned products to enter the market smoothly, but also a guarantee for consumers to enjoy safe and delicious food.
