Mini Canning Retort

Conventional canning, also known as retort processing, is the process in which food is hermetically sealed in a container, often a tin canister or glass jar, which is then commercially sterilized to effectively kill spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms and to preserve nutrition and quality of foods.Retorting is a process where food is heat-treated inside the package. The heat treatment is applied to generate a commercially sterile product that is stable in ambient conditions prior to opening.Canning is a method of food preservation in which food is processed and sealed in an airtight container (jars like Mason jars, and steel and tin cans). Canning provides a shelf life that typically ranges from one to five years, although under specific circumstances, it can be much longer.
