In Part 1 of our mini-series on the milestones of food safety, we surveyed the history of food preservation techniques prior to the advent of the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions. In this post, Part 2 will look at five essential technical advances in food preservation discovered primarily by scientists and developed by inventors: canning, pasteurization, refrigeration, freezing, and thermometry.
It’s understandable that people who are admitted to hospitals should expect to return in better health, and that their prescribed medications improve their well-being. Unfortunately, this is not always the case despite the high standards that doctors are held to.
