CANNED VEGETABLES. 



The subject of canning vegetables and the adulteration of the same 

 Avas discussed in the Food Keport of this Department, published 

 December, 1900. Only the important points will, therefore, be men- 

 tioned here. 



The advantages to be gained in canning vegetables are w(dl known 

 to all. 



Tlie process of canning consists, in brief, in cleaning and otherwise 

 preparing the vegetables, placing them in the cans, heating at high 

 enough temperature and long enough to kill all the fermentative 

 gei-ms in the articles. The vessel is then sealed to prevent the ad- 

 mission, from the air, of other organisms which would produce decay. 

 If a tightly sealed can of vegetables spoils, it shows that all the organ- 

 isms of decay were not killed by the heating in the canning process.
