Which of the following is an example of preserving food without using chemical preservatives?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for an example of preserving food without using chemical preservatives. To evaluate each option, I’ll consider whether the method directly preserves food and whether it relies on chemical additives.
Option 1: 'Spraying foods with propellant gas' would involve applying a gas to the surface, but this is not a standard, practical preservation method for extending shelf life in typical food handling, and it can be hazardous or impractical. It does not represent a recognized chemical-free preservation technique.
Option 2: 'Adding emulsifiers to sauces' focuses on texture and stability rather than preservation. Emulsifiers help keep mixtures mixed and prevent separation, but they do not function as preservatives to inhibit microbial growth or spoilage, so this is not preserving food without chemical preservatives.
Option 3: 'Using vinegar in pickled vegetables' embodies a classic preservation method that relies on acetic acid from vinegar to create an acidic environment, lowering pH and inhibiting spoilage organisms. This is a traditional, chemical-free (in the sense of adding no synthetic preservatives) preservation technique.
Option 4: 'Adding MSG to enhance flavor' is a flavor enhancer and has no preservative effect. It does not contribute to preserving the food or extending its shelf life, so it fails the preservation criterion.
In summary, among the listed options, only the vinegar-based pickle method (Option 3) aligns with preserving food without introducing chemical preservatives, since it uses a natural acidulation process rather than added chemical preservatives.
