Canned food was invented by a guy named Nicolas Appert at the
end of the 1700s. Napoleon's army was responsible for the
development of the canning method of food preservation. The main
point of canned food was to preserve food from getting rotten.
Canned food works with every kind of food starting from fruits to
meat. Introduction
Slide 3
Problem For a long time people, especially soldiers, wanted
food that they could save for when they go to war and food that
lasted for along time without getting rotten. They suffered from
severe lead poisoning after three years of eating jarred food.
Slide 4
The creator Nicholas Appert is also known as the the father of
canning became known for his inventions, Had a lot of jobs such as
an obscure candy- maker, brewer, baker, hotelkeeper and he had many
other jobs. Nicholas Appert was born on November 17, 1749 and he
died on June 1, 1841. He was born near Paris, France. Nicolas
Franois Appert, was a son of an inn-keeper whose roots were firmly
planted in farming.
Slide 5
Story of the invention Canned food was created thanks to
Nicholas Appert. Nicholas Appert complaining about army food has
been military traditions ever since there have been armies. The
French government recognized the problem by offering a cash prize
for a means of supplying high-quality food to the troops. In
1811,Nicolas Appert won it by heating food in glass jars and
sealing the tops wit cork. Later, he replaced the jars with cans,
somewhat similar to those used today.
Slide 6
Explain how the invention works We are able to can many things,
for example fruits, tomatoes, salsa, nuts, vegetables and many
others. Today I will be saying how we can pineapples. Procedure:
Wash pineapple. Peel and remove eyes and tough fiber. Slice or
cube. Pineapple may be packed in water, apple juice, white grape
juice or medium syrup. In a large saucepan, add pineapple to syrup,
water or juice, and simmer 10 minutes. Fill jars with hot pieces
and cooking liquid, leaving inch headspace. Adjust lid and wait at
most 30 mins, after those 30 mins you can then move and do whatever
you want.
Slide 7
Explain how invention solves the problem The invention helped
solve the problem because they were no longer suffering from severe
lead poisoning and food no longer got rotten in a fast amount of
time.
Slide 8
What did humans do about the problem before this invention They
tried solving the problem of food getting rotten by inventing
jarred food, but that made another problem which was that they got
severe lead poising from it.
Slide 9
How did this invention improve human life This improved humans
life, because humans could now store food, for more than a month
with out it rotting out, and it let them be able to transport food
from one place to another.
Slide 10
Improvements to the Invention through time. At first a guy
thought of the idea of preserving food in bottles, like wine. Next
they developed a method of sealing food inside glass jars. After
that Peter Durand, took the process one step farther and developed
a method of sealing food into unbreakable tin containers. They
created a few others but finally they invented the containers we
use today.
Slide 11
How has the invention create new problems for us Some examples
of problems from the invention 1. people became more lazy and are
always cooking with canned food which is not healthy 2.The canning
process destroys some of the food's nutritional content 3. if you
look at the list of ingredients on most cans you will find that
artificial preservatives etc. All the examples above is some of the
problems that could affect our health.
Slide 12
History of canned food The process of canning was invented in
the late 18th century in France, The emperor about keeping his
armies well-fed, announced a cash award of 12,000 Francs to whoever
could develop a method of preserving food. Nicholas Appert was the
one who to discover that you can preserve food into bottles. An
Englishman, Peter Durand, took the process one step farther and
developed a method of sealing food into unbreakable tin containers.
The first commercial canning factory was established in England by
Bryan Dorkin and John Hall in 1813. Thomas Kensett, established the
first U.S. canning facility for oysters, meats, fruits and
vegetables in New York. Large-scale wars in the nineteenth century,
such as the Crimean War, American Civil War, and Franco-Prussian
War introduced increasing numbers of working-class men to tinned
food.

Web. 31 Mar. 2012.. The tin can was patented in 1809 by the English
inventor Nicholas Appert. He did not produce any food cans himself,
but sold his patent to two other Englishmen, Bryan Donkin and John
Hall, who set up a commercial canning factory, and by 1813 were
producing their first canned goods for the British Army. Early cans
were sealed with lead soldering, which led to lead poisoning.
Famously, in the 1845 Arctic expedition of Sir John Franklin, crew
members suffered from severe lead poisoning after three years of
eating canned food. In 1901, the American Can Company was founded
which, at the time, produced 90% of United States tin cans.
