Food processing and preservation technologies play a crucial role in ensuring food safety, extending shelf life, and maintaining nutritional value. Innovative methods such as high-pressure processing (HPP), freeze-drying, and irradiation minimize microbial contamination while preserving food quality. Emerging technologies like pulsed electric fields (PEF) and cold plasma treatment offer non-thermal alternatives that retain essential nutrients and sensory properties. Smart packaging solutions, including oxygen absorbers and antimicrobial films, further enhance food preservation and reduce waste. With a growing focus on sustainability and minimally processed foods, advancements in Food Processing and Preservation Technologies continue to shape a more efficient and resilient global food system.
