As a method of long-term preservation for fruits and vegetables, freezing is generally regarded as superior to canning and dehydration The safety and nutrition quality of frozen products are emphasized when high quality raw materials are used, good manufacturing practices are employed in the preservation process, and the products are kept in accordance with specified temperatures.]]> 2017-05-05 23:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kedgmon9654/78n7wn7azvax/wish/170279599 kedgmon9654 https://padlet.com/kedgmon9654/78n7wn7azvax/wish/170279887 Freeze foods as soon as they are packaged and sealed. Do not overload the freezer with unfrozen food, so add only the amount that will freeze within 24 hours. This is usually 2 or 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of storage space. Overloading slows down the freezing rate, and foods that freeze too slowly may lose their quality. Place packages against freezing plates or coils. Leave space between packages so air can circulate freely. After freezing, store packages close together. Arrange packages so you use those that have been in the freezer the longest first. ]]> 2017-05-05 23:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kedgmon9654/78n7wn7azvax/wish/170279887 kedgmon9654 https://padlet.com/kedgmon9654/78n7wn7azvax/wish/170280047 Advantages: This type of preservation is relatively quick process. You can blanch a large amount of vegetables in just a few minutes and freeze all kinds of meat. You can preserve food and keep it longer, and always having things available to cook with or eat. Freezer containers are cheaper than canning jars and lids. The simple blanching process emits less heat into the living space and requires less initial energy usage than canning does. It also preserves vitamins better than canning does as well.
Disadvantages: Freezer burn can affect texture and flavor. Foods frozen in containers that are not designed for freezer us can be exposed to air. Because of this exposure to air, ice crystals form on the food. The cells in the frozen food rupture, resulting in moisture, texture, and flavor loss. Freezer burn is the dried out, gray-brown edges or sections of meat, dried sections of baked goods, and the dulled coloring in vegetables and fruit. Eating freezer burned foods is safe, but it is unappetizing.
