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.
The formation of ice crystals during freezing damages the ultrastructure and concentrates the solutes in the meat which, in turn, leads to alterations in the biochemical reactions that occur at the cellular level and influence the physical quality parameters of the meat.his review aims to collate and assess the currently available liter-. ature on the effects of freezing and thawing on the quality of meat. Specific emphasis is placed on the extent to which meat quality is. influenced by the rate at which freezing and thawing are performed.
