$\bullet$ Food preservation is done to prevent food spoilage. There are several methods for preserving food.
$\bullet$ One of the methods is by using sugar or salt solution. Sugar and salt solutions draw water content out of food items. The low water content will prevent microbial growth and thereby preserving the food.
$\bullet$ Generally fish, meat and raw mangoes are preserved using salt solution and dates and fruits are preserved in sugar solution.
