As a result, natural alternatives such as rosemary extract are posing a threat to established chemical preservatives. Organic acids, such as sorbic and benzoic, were once frequently employed. The natural availability of these acids in fruits has paved the way for clean-label preservatives in the French market. Furthermore, the frequent introduction of improved clean-label preservatives to suit the demand for various applications is driving the demand for clean-label natural preservatives in the food and beverage industries. France has a rich culinary history, and many ancient preservation methods are still recognised and used today. Salting, smoking, fermentation, and drying are common methods for preserving foods such as cured meats, sausages, cheeses, and pickled vegetables. These traditional preservation procedures contribute to French cuisine's distinct flavours and qualities. Each region of France has its own distinct food preservation traditions and skills. For instance, Brittany is well-known for its seafood preservation methods, but the South of France is well-known for its sun-dried fruits and vegetables. Preservatives employed in these regional delicacies frequently reflect local ingredients and practises. In France, the artisanal food movement is popular, and many small-scale producers emphasise traditional and natural food preservation methods. Artisanal products frequently use high-quality ingredients with fewer additives, making them appealing to consumers who value natural and authentic cuisine.
