Limestone itself doesn't directly preserve food, but it can be used in the preservation process. When ground into a powder, it may be mixed with other substances to create a natural preservative or used as a filler in certain food products. Additionally, lime (derived from limestone) has been historically used in pickling and curing processes to enhance preservation by creating an alkaline environment that inhibits microbial growth. Thus, while limestone contributes to food preservation indirectly, its role is more about providing compounds that assist in the process.
