Translation for 食べ物を腐らせずに保存する


Saw this in my textbook. The translation is "to preserve food from decay". I
get it, but I am not clear about the ず after 腐らせる. Where is it coming from?




-zu is a negative particle. It is equivalent to the negative -nai. kusarasezu ni means "without letting [it, the food] rot".
