intestinal contents and the fins are removed before it is preserved.

5. Drying: This is the process of removing or reducing water content of the food produce to
minimize the activity of the spoilage organisms. Food can be dried in the oven, sun, by
dehydration etc. This method is used for herbs, vegetable, nuts, roots, tubers, cereals etc.

. Washing: Some fruits and vegetable are processed by washing e.g bitter leaf

7. Shell removal: Coconuts, palmnuts and cashew nut are processed by removal of the hard

IMPORTANCE OF FOOD PROCESSING

1. It helps to preserve food and prevent it from deterioration

2. Many foods are inedible, unless processed. For example coffee, cocoa etc
3. It helps to remove toxins that occurs naturally in foods e.g the hydrogen cyanide removed by
fermenting cassava

Meaning of preservation and storage

Crop preservation is the process of treating and handling crop to stop or greatly slow down
spoilage (loss of quality, edibility or nutritive value) caused or accelerated by micro-organisms.

Crop Storage means the phase of the post-harvest system during which the products are kept in
such a way as to guarantee food security other than during periods of agricultural production.
