Canning is a method of preserving food for a longer time by using air-tight containers. The canning process varies by product but usually, it involves three steps – processing, sealing, and heating the cans to kill harmful bacteria and prevent spoilage. Commonly used canned foods include fruits, vegetables, beans, soups, meats, and seafood. The major advantage of canned food is that it is affordable, convenient to carry, and has a longer shelf life. In recent times canned food consumption is increasing among people particularly working people as canned food requires less time to prepare, provides a nutrient-based diet, and has long storage potential.
An increase in demand for healthier canned foods among middle-class consumers is expected to boost the market for canned foods in Turkey.
