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.
Fresh produce contains chemical compounds called enzymes which cause the loss of color, loss of nutrients, flavor changes, and color changes in frozen fruits and vegetables.These enzymes must be inactivated to prevent such reactions from taking place.illiam Schafer, Food technologist â Department of Food Science and Nutrition.
