Is deep freezing a good method of conserving vitamins in food?
Yes. Generally, deep freezing is a good way of preserving the vitamin content of foods. However, this is not true in the case of vitamin E, which is degraded by cold temperatures. It is also important to wrap foods well to protect against dehydration, and to freeze each food.. Be sure to label foods with the date of freezing, and observe the guidelines for length of storage of particular foods. Quick thawing deep frozen food, such as in a microwave oven, can also lead to vitamin losses.
