1. Introduction
The conservation is generally defined as the method used to preserve an existent state or to prevent possible due damages to the action of chemical agents (oxidation), physical (temperature and light) or biological (microorganisms).
The conservation of the nutritious products has allowed the man to have foods from a crop until the following one. Therefore, the main function of the conservation is to retard the deterioration of the foods and to prevent alterations of its flavor or, in some cases, of its aspect.
This objective can be achieved in different ways, through the treatment processes like the
