PRESERVING THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
A group of our Year 10 students have made delicious preserves ready for Christmas!Food Science and Technology teacher Shabana Tagore said the students had studied and practised a range of ways to preserve food this term, including dehydration, freeze-drying, salting, pickling, cheese-making and chemical preservation.
“As food is so important to survival, food preservation is one of the oldest techniques used by ancient cultures,” Mrs Tagore said.“The basic idea behind all forms of food preservation is either to slow down the activity of disease-causing bacteria or to kill the bacteria altogether.”
