Post-harvest technology involves all treatments or processes that occur from time of harvesting until the foodstuff reaches the final consumer. Efficient techniques for harvesting, conveying/transportation, handling, storage, processing/preservation, packaging, etc are components of the post-harvest chain. Harvesting is normally included as a component of the although post-harvest strictly means 'after harvest' because how produce are harvested have a large bearing on the post-harvest life of the produce. Even in some cases, pre-harvest factors that affect post-harvest life (in terms of quality and losses) of the produce are considered As can be inferred from above, preservation is a part of the post-harvest chain. In fact, preservation of the taste, smell, look and feel of food and preventing spoilage is also an important function of food processing. Preservation is accomplished by inactivating basic natural processes in food: * Enzyme action - all food contains natural enzymes that break down proteins, fats and carbohydrates to facilitate animal and plant growth. Once an animal has been killed or a plant harvested, these enzymes, if left uncontrolled, continue to work, breaking down the food itself and resulting in spoilage. * Microbial action - all food can be attacked by bacteria and fungi that cause food to rot or become mouldy. If permitted to multiply, these microbes can cause spoilage. * Oxidation - many food components can be attacked by oxygen in the air, making them go rancid or resulting in an unpleasant taste. This, too, must be controlled.
I want to know about compartmentalization in food preservation technique
Mummification is the process, whether deliberate or on accident, of the long term preservation of a dead body. The term mummification implies a high degree of preservation, as opposed to the short term preservation methods generally used today.

the post-harvest system should be thought of as encompassing the delivery of a crop from the time and place of harvest to the time and place of consumption, with minimum loss, maximum efficiency and maximum return for all involved
