The Process of Canning Invented

How many knows the name of INVENTOR??

SARASIJ MAJUMDER

Which person faded away into obscurity despite being responsible for one of humanity’s most important inventions?

Napoleon is credited with saying——“An army marches on its stomach”

The food available to soldiers, circa 1810, in EUROPE, was hard bread and salted meat, which was neither nutritious nor appetizing.

Napoleon offered a prize of 12,000 Francs to anyone who could invent a better way to store food for his troops.

Chef Nicolas Appert(as in appetizing) rose to the challenge.

He perfected a method of putting food in jars, submerging the jars in boiling water to preserve the food, then seal the jars.

In other words—- Process of canning was invented. This is perfected as the time, and science progressed.

 For his invention, Appert was given a large cash prize by the French government, because his invention of canning was extremely important for the French military in the Napoleonic Wars.

Canned food was first used by the military during times of war and was initially unpopular with the general public. Until the 20th century, metal cans were very bulky, aesthetically unappealing, and heavy, while canned food in glass containers was prone to breakage. With each war that occurred after its invention, canned food gained more public trust and popularity. After World War I, canned food became commonplace in the everyday home.

Now, canned foods are generally hermetically sealed. Some foods are heated to sterilizing temperature.

All sorts of foods, such as meats, vegetables, and fruits can be canned. Some examples of canned foods include canned green beans, sweet corn, chili, SPAM, and tuna fish., normally, before CANNING.

Canning is one of the main inventions that supports modern life to which we give little thought.

Though well-known in France, Chef Appert has faded away into obscurity in the rest of the world.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

KNOW THY LEADER AND IDENTIFY ENEMY

Image
  KNOW THY LEADER AND   IDENTIFY ENEMY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Think about it—the man who has effectively FIRST MARGINALIZED   AND THEN ALMOST ERASED Arvind Kejriwal (AK-49) & HIS   PARTY without even uttering his name. AK-49 was once a ‘DEEP STATE’ man, later dumped. Uddhav Bhai is gasping for political life!! Congress party IS LIVING SOMETIME IN ICU , SOMETIME IN VENTILATOR for the last 12 years . And who ensured that elections were conducted relatively peacefully in a state like West Bengal—where, at one time, voting was synonymous with violence, gunfire, bombings, and loss of hundreds of lives. Who, and whose party and whose Leaders achieved the above? Introspect. Who revoked Article 370—a decision that Political Pundits & Critics once claimed would start with   a bloodbath in Kashmir, ultimately end with getting Kashmir joining with PAKISTAN. Well—the situation is different!! Who has largely brought the menace of stone-pelters in Kashmi...
