Freezing has very little effect on the nutrient content of foods. Some fruits and vegetables are blanched (immersed in boiling water for a short period) before freezing to inactivate enzymes and yeasts that would continue to cause food spoilage, even in the freezer.This process can cause some of the vitamin C (15 to 20%) to be lost.xamples of foods that do not tolerate freezing well include salad vegetables, mushrooms and soft fruits. Foods with higher fat contents, such as cream and some sauces, tend to separate when frozen. Commercial freezing rapidly freezes foods so that smaller ice crystals are formed.
Food processing can lead to improvements in, or damage to, the nutritional value of foods, sometimes both at the same time, and it can help to preserve nutrients that would otherwise be lost during storage. For instance, shock-freezing of vegetables shortly after harvesting slows the loss of sensitive nutrients.he salt may be added as such or be rubbed into meat. Salt fish (dried and salted cod) and salt-cured meat such as Italian prosciutto crudo are examples of salted foods. Other food processing methods in which salt plays a role are brining and pickling.
