The stalls of modern grocery stores are full of various delicacies. Many of us like to eat various fish-based dishes. But when there is absolutely no time for cooking, you can buy canned products. And sooner or later, the question arises as to what unsterilized canned fish are called. It is about them that we will tell in our article.
Unsterilized canned fish - what is it?
Someone, perhaps, hears this concept for the first time. But surely many of us have used such canned fish more than once. However, they have their own name.
So what is the name of unsterilized canned fish? They are called preserves.
More about preserves
The name of this product is translated from Latin as "protect." After special processing with the addition of various kinds of preservatives, pieces of fish are placed in airtight containers. Often, fish preserves are included in this category of semi-finished products, that is, a product during the cutting of which the fillet was not subjected to heat treatment. The cost of such products will depend on the quality of raw materials, the type of fish, fill, salting, spices, type and volume of packaging.
Differences of canned food from preserves
Butchering the carcass, adding brine, sauces, impurities, spices, as well as the tightness of the container make preserves and canned food similar to each other. Two factors distinguish these categories of semi-finished products: taste, as well as manufacturing technology. For canned food, the main condition is the heat treatment of raw materials, and canned food is a product that cannot be sterilized, which preserves proteins, vitamins, and minerals. During the manufacture of preserves from fish, the use of preservatives-antiseptics, for example sodium benzoate, is allowed.
Now you know what unsterilized canned fish are called, and also what they differ from simple canned food.
