Let's assume you're talking about cut flowers. The commercially available OTC preservative powders work great, but you can save money and make your own with;
3 parts water (tap or spring, distilled is best), (i.e.36oz)
1 part citrus soda pop (7-up, Mountain Dew, Squirt, Wink, Ginger Ale, NOT DIET)
(i.e. 12 oz can) +
1 Tablespoon bleach.
These provide the necessary ingredients to sustain a plant for a couple of weeks. The water is obvious, the soda pop for food (sugar), and the citric acid found in these sodas provides and antibacterial along with the bleach.
If you are cutting Daffodils, make sure you change the water every 20 minutes for the first hour and DO NOT put other plants or flowers in with them as their sap is toxic to themselves and other plants. They expell "bad stuff" through their Phloem just as we expell CO2 through our lungs.

The answer depends in part on your application. Also, 'best' in what sense? Formaldehyde is a very effective preservative for biological specimens, but is not suitable as a food preservative if you intend to eat the food, as it is quite toxic. Copper compounds are excellent wood preservatives, but are also quite toxic. If you are looking for a non toxic food preservative, try salt or vinegar!

A natural preservative is a substance from plants or minerals that prevents spoilage and extends shelf life without synthetic chemicals. Food preservation techniques are important for keeping our food safe and fresh for longer or throughout their shelf life. There are many effective methods including the use of oxygen absorbers and other traditional methods like Salting, canning and drying. Oxygen absorbers help absorb and retain excess oxygen from the surroundings, and effectively help to prevent any spoilage in the food products and keep nutrients intact.
