-Date of death uncertain according to two ref. sources. -Appert's invention a result of Napoleon's offer of reward to transport food to troops. -Included title of Appert's book & his methodology -Appert wasn't a confectioner, he was a pickler and a brewer. -Am I supposed to cite my sources in article?
Can anyone confirm the date of success? Timetables of History says 1809 or 1810, but it freq conflicts on dates... Trekphiler 20:06, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

death 1841 in Massy france
Can the article be more specific about his birth date? I guess in 1750's records are not that accurate and Internet sources may not be authoritative, but here are some conflicting sources:
(1) Nicolas Appert was born on October 23, 1752. What a wonderful day to celebrate Home Canning and preserving! http://hometown.aol.com/acalendar/October/cannedfood.html
(2) Nicolas François Appert [b. Châons-sur-Marne, France, October 23, 1752, d. Massy, near Paris, June 3, 1841] http://www.answers.com/topic/nicolas-francois-appert?cat=technology
(3) Nicolas Appert est né le 17 novembre 1749 à Châlons-en-Champagne, dans la Marne, et il est mort le 1er juin 1841 à Massy. Il est le premier à mettre au point une méthode de conservation des aliments en les stérilisant par la chaleur dans des contenants hermétiques (bouteilles en verre puis boîtes métalliques en fer-blanc). Il créa la première usine de conserves au Monde. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_Appert
