Assuming you mean preservatives, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate as examples, these are used to disrupt the metabolic pathways used by molds, bacteria and other microflora. "Non-chemical" preservation such as salt and sugar reduce available water for microbes decreasing or eliminating their ability to transfer nutrients by osmosis across a cell membrane, hindering growth.
