Food preservatives are added to food to keep it free from contamination and fresh for a long time interval between the time of manufacturing and consumption. These are used in dairy products, beverages, bakery products, snacks, meat, and seafood during

processing and packaging to extend their shelf lives by preventing bacterial contamination. The demand for these food items is expected drive the global food preservatives market. The growing need for convenience and increasing complexities in the food supply chain also drive the demand for food preservatives.Salt and smoke have been used for food preservation for centuries. Salt draws out water from the food and the microorganisms in it by osmosis, preventing them from growing. Also, chemicals are introduced during smoking to reduce the growth of molds and bacteria; they can also prevent rancidity. Similarly, other popular preservatives include sugar, vinegar, and honey.
