Thesis Abstract

Abstract
This thesis investigates the development of innovative techniques for food preservation in the food industry. With the increasing demand for safe and high-quality food products, the need for effective preservation methods has become crucial. This study aims to explore and evaluate new technologies and approaches that can enhance food preservation processes while maintaining the nutritional value and sensory attributes of the products. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, experimental studies, and data analysis to assess the effectiveness of various preservation techniques. Chapter One provides an introduction to the research topic, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter Two presents a detailed literature review covering ten key aspects related to food preservation technologies, trends, challenges, and innovations in the food industry. The review of existing literature serves as a foundation for understanding the current state of food preservation practices and identifying gaps for further research. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the experimental design, sample selection, data collection methods, and data analysis techniques. The chapter also describes the different preservation techniques tested and evaluated in the study, such as high-pressure processing, pulsed electric fields, ultraviolet light, and modified atmosphere packaging. The methodology aims to provide a systematic approach to investigating the effectiveness of these innovative preservation methods. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the experimental studies and data analysis. The results highlight the strengths and limitations of each preservation technique in terms of microbial control, shelf life extension, and sensory quality of the food products. The chapter also discusses the practical implications of the findings for the food industry and potential areas for future research and development. Chapter Five offers a conclusion and summary of the thesis, summarizing the key findings, implications, and contributions to the field of food technology. The study concludes with recommendations for industry practitioners and policymakers to adopt and implement innovative food preservation techniques to enhance food safety, quality, and sustainability. In conclusion, this thesis contributes to the ongoing efforts to advance food preservation technologies in the food industry. By exploring and evaluating innovative techniques, this research aims to provide valuable insights and recommendations to improve food preservation practices and meet the growing demands for safe and high-quality food products in the market.
