English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Preservation and Canning
DEF

A method of food preservation in which packed cans or jars are subjected to temperature high enough to sterilize the containers and their contents.

OBS

In honor of Appert, canning is sometimes called "appertization", but should be distinguished from pasteurization. Appert's early attempts at food preservation by boiling involves cooking the food to a temperature far in excess of what is used in pasteurization (70º C), and can destroy some of the flavor of the preserved food.
