irradiation

blanching

dehydration

vacuum packing

Answer 1

D.  vacuum packing

Explanation:

The best food preservation technique Andrea should use is vacuum packing.

Vacuum packing is a process in which food substances are preserved in seals where air has been removed.

• Since this is food product, vacuum packing the tomato will sustain the nutritional content of the tomato.
• Inside the vacuum, the tomato can ripen on its own as the hormones are stimulated to start working on their own.
• The organisms which are component of the dirt will not survive the packing due to the absence of oxygen for their life processes.
