Answer:
The non-metal used to preserve food item is nitrogen.
Explanation:
Nitrogen has a valency of 3. Hence it is not much reactive under normal conditions. Also nitrogen stays inert. Nitrogen preserves food Material by the virtue of its inert nature. Nitrogen also prevents the growth of microorganisms hence nitrogen makes the food material remain unaffected even after a long duration without consuming.
Nitrogen remains in gaseous product and can be easily available due to its higher percentage in food. This makes it favourable for use.
