About Canning:

Extreme care is exercised with regards to hygiene in all stages starting from the purchase up to the production of the materials used in canned food and pickles. The food needs to be subjected to thermal processing for a specific time depending on the type of food. The vegetables to be processed for canning should be supplied and processed on site within a brief period of time. Moreover, input control is very important in canning. The vegetables to be processed into canning should have some certain qualities. Tat has procurement and input control specifications created for each type of vegetable in place; every measure is taken to supply vegetables according to such specifications.

At the input stage, the vegetable is washed with plenty of water or is carried into the plant in water, where it is classified, cleaned and cut into parts. The vegetable is boiled according to the relevant specifications. Boiling sometimes takes place in water only and sometimes in water "with lemon and salt". Then jars or cans, which have been washed or sprayed with air and steam, are filled to a certain weight; in the next stage, hot salted water, which is known as brine or which can contain just a little citric acid, is added. The reason for this is both to prevent the product from becoming slippery and to acidify the environment. In order to create an oxygen-free environment, the container should be closed as accompanied by steam following filling. No air is left in the can or jar in order to prevent any microorganisms surviving the thermal process from reproducing. If any air is left, the surviving microorganisms may reproduce and spoil the product and they may also result in poisoning for people consuming the products without noticing it. Thus, filling temperature is an important criterion. At the last stage, on the other hand, cooking, in other words, the thermal process, which is the most important stage in canning, takes place. Thermal processing takes place according to the specifications of the vegetables. For example, canned okra may not be subjected to thermal process at the same temperature with canned pea, as okra cannot withstand the temperature of thermal process of the bean and disintegrates.
