Natural food preservatives are the organic chemicals that are used to prevent food spoilage caused by bacteria, molds and fungi. They can keep food fresh, thereby extending its shelf life.

They are good in comparison to the chemical food preservatives because:

• Health Impact: Natural preservatives have fewer risks of causing allergies or long-term health issues, while chemical preservatives can sometimes lead to health concerns and sensitivities.
• Environmental Effect: Natural preservatives are biodegradable and eco-friendly, whereas chemical ones may contribute to pollution and are less sustainable.
• Body Compatibility: Natural substances are generally easier for the body to process without chemical buildup, reducing the likelihood of adverse effects from prolonged exposure.
