Food preservatives can originate from both natural and synthetic sources. Natural preservatives, such as salt, sugar, vinegar, and certain spices, have been used for centuries to inhibit microbial growth and extend shelf life. Synthetic preservatives, like sorbates and benzoates, are chemically produced to provide more effective preservation. These compounds help maintain food quality by preventing spoilage and extending freshness.
