Two hundred years of development achievements in canned food four most

Originating under Napoleon in 1804 in Paris, canned food swept across Europe from France and spread around the world. After more than 200 years of development, canned food has become very popular in developed countries in Europe and the United States, and accounts for more than one third of the daily diet consumption. And the popularity of canned food is not only because of its processing technology reached a perfect climate, but also because of the "four most"

 

The first "most" -- the safest

 

European Food Safety Commission has pointed out that canning is the best way to deal with food-borne bacteria, and the canning industry is also the first to adopt HACCP system industry, canned food does not need to add any preservatives, can achieve the purpose of long-term preservation. Canned food can be said to be the safest semi-finished food
 

European and American consumers also believe that in terms of food safety, canned food has incomparable advantages. Standardized raw material supply, industrialized product manufacturing, institutionalized quality control and product safety and traceability throughout the whole process of canning make consumers feel absolutely assured and impeccable about canned food

 

In recent years, the backbone enterprises of China's canned industry have vigorously promoted HACCP and other quality system management, improved the level of production mechanization and continuity, and reached the international advanced level both in hardware and software. In China's food safety national standard "Food Additive Use Standard (GB2760-2011)", all kinds of food additives that are allowed to be added to canned food are the least in all foods, and canned food can be safely eaten

 

The second "most" -- the most convenient

 

As one of the most convenient foods in the 21st century, canned food has contributed a lot to improving the efficiency of work and life

 

The principle of tank processing technology is that after food is loaded into the container, air is extracted to form a vacuum, which is sealed so that external bacteria can no longer enter, and sterilization will kill the remaining bacteria inside. Food in a vacuum and aseptic state, can maximize the preservation of color, fragrance, taste, and a longer time to preserve. Therefore, canned food can be stored at room temperature without refrigeration and has a longer shelf life. It has been reported abroad that cans are still in good condition after being placed for decades and meet the edible standards

 

In addition, in today's era of rapid increase in the number of tourists and the frequency of tourism, canned food has become an important baggage during travel with its convenient characteristics. It can not only help people avoid hunger during travel, but also provide a guarantee for the safety and hygiene of diet. In addition to travel, canned food is also useful for outdoor expansion, field marches and even disaster relief

 

The third "most" - the most nutrition

 

The quality of canned products is controlled and kept fresh during preset processing, so that most canned products are fresher than the fresh produce normally stored and shipped through distribution channels. The raw materials of canned food have a very short delay time in the whole process of harvesting, transportation and processing, some products even less than 2 hours, which makes the canned food can maintain a high nutritional value

 

What's more, canned food contains higher levels of certain nutrients than food prepared the way we normally cook it. Take canned fish for example, the sterilization process on the fish protein, iron, zinc, iodine, selenium and other nutrients not only have no effect, but also can make the fish bone crisp and soft, dissolve a lot of calcium, therefore, the calcium content of canned fish than fresh fish increased by more than ten times. Similarly, the sterilization process does not lose the vegetable's vitamin K and makes many nutrients readily available to the body, such as lycopene, which is twice as high in canned tomatoes as it is in fresh tomatoes. To some extent, canned food is also one of the most nutritious foods

 

The fourth "most" -- the most affordable

 

Canned food is one of the most affordable foods. Tins, glass bottles and other packaging container materials can be produced in China, the price is declining year by year. Canned processing is industrialized mass production, raw material centralized purchasing, comprehensive utilization, the retail price is relatively cheap lunch meat 340 grams, for example, a can of luncheon meat processing roughly 500 g good pork on the raw material, add in the manufacturing process of all kinds of natural spices, the use of advanced production equipment, safety and health, now lunch meat market retail price only 500 grams of fresh meat price. Canned fish is more economical and convenient, after processing, it eliminates the family tedious production process, save a lot of time cost, and a can of fish price is less than a kilogram of fresh fish 100 years of development achievements of canned food four of the most.
