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.
Freeze-Dried Foods versus Dehydrated Foods. One of the oldest forms of food preservation (and one people are very familiar with today) is dehydration. Dehydrated foods do not retain nutrients as well as canning or freezing, but they are still a good way to have fruits vegetables and meats in your long term food storage.They dehydration process basically heats up the food hot enough to remove the moisture but not hot enough to cook it.any people think that freeze-dried foods are the same as dehydrated.
