Table salt, sugar vegetable oils, and sodium benzoate, etc. are used as preservatives. These food preservatives prevent spoilage of food due to microbial growth. Salt and oil do not allow moisture and air to enter the material and hence bacteria cannot thrive on them. Therefore, pickles do not get spoiled for months together.
