Abstract
Any process-associated food preservation deteriorates overall quality of food materials to some extent. Many a time, improper preservation practices result in harmful effects on foods. Contamination can be accessed through different pathways including biological, chemical, as well as physical ones. Improper process conditions, processing environment, wrong ingredient, and improper balance of processing components may cause mild to severe contamination in food materials over the time of preservation process. Out of the contaminations, excess chemical preservation and proliferation of microorganisms lead to severe negative health consequence. Proper hygiene practices, leaving harmful preservatives, and maintaining required preservation conditions would ensure the safe quality of preserved foods. In this chapter, the potential ways of food contamination have been discussed in details.
