Thesis Abstract

Abstract
The preservation of food products is essential to ensure their safety, quality, and shelf-life. Traditional food preservation methods often involve the use of synthetic additives and chemicals, raising concerns about their potential health risks and environmental impact. This thesis focuses on the development of a novel food preservation technique using natural ingredients in food technology. The primary objective is to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of utilizing natural compounds as preservatives in food products. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, presenting the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. The literature review in Chapter Two examines existing research on food preservation techniques, natural preservatives, and their potential applications in the food industry. Ten key items are discussed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in this field. Chapter Three details the research methodology employed in this study, including the selection of natural ingredients, experimental design, sample preparation, preservation techniques, and analytical methods. The chapter also discusses the validation and optimization of the proposed food preservation technique, as well as the evaluation of its efficacy in extending the shelf-life of food products. Eight key components of the research methodology are outlined to provide a clear understanding of the experimental procedures. In Chapter Four, the findings of the research are presented and discussed in detail. The results of the experiments conducted to assess the effectiveness of the novel food preservation technique using natural ingredients are analyzed, and their implications for the food industry are explored. The chapter also addresses any challenges encountered during the research process and suggests potential areas for further investigation. Finally, Chapter Five summarizes the key findings of the study and offers conclusions based on the research outcomes. The significance of the novel food preservation technique using natural ingredients in food technology is highlighted, along with its potential benefits for consumers, manufacturers, and the environment. Recommendations for future research and practical implications for the food industry are also discussed. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the field of food technology by proposing a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to food preservation. The development of a novel food preservation technique using natural ingredients offers a promising alternative to conventional methods, addressing the growing demand for safe and healthy food products in the global market.
