Canned foods were initially made by Appert, N. (1750~1841),
French, in 1804. He designed it to provide fresh foods to French
troops, dispatched to Europe in the Napoleon era. He put foods
in a glass bottle and corked loosely and then corked tightly
after boiling the bottle. Namely, he used same method as the
bottled foods today. However, since the underlying principle
is same as the canned foods today, he is regarded as the founder
of canned foods.
After 6 years, Durand, P, English, developed 3-piece can
using tinplate instead of a fragile glass bottle. It was called
"'tin canister" and there are some reports that
represent "can" is from "canister". Cans
have been used very practically from this time.
Can manufacturing method have been dramatically developed
since the United States established can factories. As the
demand of can rise, can manufacturing technology have been
developed, mechanized and mass-produced.
At the beginning, people used scissors to cut tinplate and
soldered it to make cans. Thereafter, people have developed
automatic and hygienic process to produce double seamed can.
Can manufacturing technology was used only for food preservation
at the beginning but recently it is widely used for food,
drink, paint and so on.
In 1890, Japanese introduced cans in Korea. People put abalone
in a can and seamed with home seamer and then sterilized with
boiling water. Japanese established can factory at Hamkyong-do
in 1919 and Chosun Can was founded in 1938, which produced
soldered steel can. Korean representative can manufacturing
companies are Hanil Can Co., Ltd., Sam Kwang Can Co., Ltd.,
Samhwa Crown and Closure, One Jung Can Manufacturing Co.,
Ltd., Seung-Il Can Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Lotte Aluminum
Company, etc.
