The basic idea behind the different forms of food preservation is either to slow down the activity of bacteria, or to kill the bacteria altogether. In certain cases, a preservation technique also may destroy enzymes naturally found in a food that cause it to spoil or discolor quickly. The vitamin/mineral provision will allow consumers to use food stamps to purchase dietary supplements that provide vitamins or minerals. But an impact study will also have to be carried out to assess the technical issues, economic impacts and health effects of adding vitamins to the food stamp scheme. --------------- Martina All foods eventually spoil if not preserved.
