How does canning slow down decay?

Canning involves sterilizing food in airtight containers at high temperatures, which kills bacteria, yeasts, and molds that cause food decay. The airtight seal in the canned container prevents any new contamination, creating a stable environment that slows down the growth of microorganisms and enzymes that cause decay. Additionally, canning removes oxygen from the container, inhibiting the growth of aerobic bacteria that require oxygen to survive.
