Authors : Hamani Sabrina . Zerarka Mohamed Nazim .

Abstract

Food preservation in ancient civilizations was crucial for ensuring a consistent food supply throughout the year. Techniques such as curing meats and creating fish sauces were widely employed during this period. This paper seeks to explore the application of these preservation methods, the resulting products, and their importance in the realm of food preservation. The research findings will shed light on the different methods and techniques used for salting food and making fish sauces, as well as the crucial role these practices played in extending food shelf life and enhancing flavor variety.
