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. 2, record 1, English, - canning
