Konserveleme is the process of preserving food to extend its shelf life and maintain its nutritional value. This method typically involves sealing food in airtight containers, such as cans or jars, and heating them to kill bacteria and enzymes that cause spoilage. Common foods that are preserved include fruits, vegetables, and meats. The main goal of konserveleme is to prevent food waste and ensure that seasonal produce can be enjoyed year-round. This technique not only helps in maintaining the flavor and texture of the food but also makes it convenient for storage and transportation.
