Answer:

Glass jar

Step-by-step explanation:

The development of the glass jar by Nicholas Appert was critical in the preservation of food in the early 1800s. Storing food in a tightly closed glass jar increased the food’s shelf life because it limited bacteria that are the responsible for food spoilage. Nicholas is considered the father of food science. Loius Pasteur then corroborated Nicholas using his experiment that led to pasteurization of food.
