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.
Does food processing affect the mineral content of foods? Minerals are stable in food. They generally remain in the food even after cooking, canning, or freezing. However, food processing can still affect the content of certain minerals. For example, refining or milling will decrease the chromium content of foods, and processing steps involving food additives can increase the phosphorus content (3). Processing also affects the balance of sodium and potassium in vegetables. Fresh vegetables are rich in potassium and naturally low in sodium. Canned vegetables are usually higher in sodium from added salt. How much of each mineral do I need each day?
