In-Brief

• F rozen foods are not a new concept, but
  customers do not prefer these foods always and
  so nutritionists in food product development in
  industries.
• F rozen foods are much more than box dinners of
  our assumptions. They are suitable for health
  and the economy as well as in food industries
  development. Food research lab explores about
  frozen foods debunking common myths and
  mentioning their benefits.

Frozen Food
Frozen foods are foods that undergo freezing
and preservation until it is used. The freezing
process induces decomposition by turning
moisture into ice and controlling bacterial
growth with the n ew recipe in food
industries. Freezing is an everyday work
throughout households and the f ood production
industries. Contd...

Freezing tends slightly lower at home the food
industry tends to use quick production. Despite
many advances in freezing technology for food,
people tend to belive those myths about the
nature of frozen foods.there are many benefits
and a few tales are as follows.

Benefits of Frozen Foods
There are many benefits from frozen foods,
including convenience and freshness.
Significantly, Frozen foods can cut down on food
waste and grocery costs, too. CONVENIENCE
Frozen foods are always convenient and timesaver
from groceries shopping, meal preparation, and
kitchen cleaning processes.

Frozen food comes provides time-saving varieties,
like peeled and cut vegetables, meat trimming,
and steam and microwavable utensils. Minimal
effort is required for preparing frozen
foods. Customers get ample time to donate,
responsibilities, and thanks to frozen meals.
FRESHNESS Another mandatory benefit is that
frozen food remains the freshest! Almost all the
frozen foods essentially stop spoilage during
their peak ripeness.

It Produces, flash-frozen within just a few short
hours following harvest and locks vitamins and
minerals whilst preserving taste with n ew food
product development. HEALTHY AND
NUTRITIOUS Frozen foods are not healthier alone
but also more nutritious than fresh products by
r ecipe development consultants. Produce is
generally flash-frozen during peak ripeness,
locking in, withholding their nutrient content.

The principle holds when frozen foods have high
nutrient value when compared to fresh produce
during prolonged transportation and storage at
grocery stores with the help of f ood
development from technology. FLEXIBILITY Frozen
meal flexibility helps to reduce the risk of the
flavour of burnout, that ultimately leads to
less healthful toxins. Providing high
nutritious, frozen foods are ready for use not
only reduces the risk of continuous evenings out
for dinners but also helps individuals achieve
their health goals by challenging the food
product industries.

LONGER SHELF LIFE Frozen foods will have a much
longer s helf-life than the fresh
products. Preserving foods allows individuals to
enjoy foods that may not be in season throughout
all times of the year. It primarily gives true
for seasonal fruits, and fish with s tandardized
recipes. BUDGET-FRIENDLY Choosing more n
utritious foods over convenience products is the
mandatory things in all the products, especially
in food.

Although selecting organic sources will take a
harder beating, frozen foods can become waist
and budget-friendly. Preservation of foods also
reduces the risk of food and money away. REDUCE
FOOD WASTE The American Frozen Food Institute
states that around 40 per cent of all food
produced in the U.S. was not consumed that is
equal to nearly 162 billion worth of food waste
per year.

Frozen food may be a solution for this food
waste, hunger, and ensure overall food safety.

• Many studies suggest that food waste may be
  reduced by six-fold when comparing frozen with
  fresh foods!

Myths
1. FROZEN VEGETABLES ARE LESS NUTRITIOUS VEGGIES
Customers often presume fresh foods, mainly
process, a healthy choice. There is ongoing
research that supports debunk this frozen food
myth. Many studies compared the nutrient status
of vitamin C, folate in fresh, frosty,
produce. These produce formed "fresh-stored"
more than "fresh-stored" outperformed frozen.
Contd..
15
Another few studies found overall vitamin content
of frozen commodities was comparable to and
occasionally higher than that of their fresh
counterparts. 2. FROZEN FOODS ARE NOT
FRESH "Fresh" food may be a suggestion, but
frozen should not be similar to
unfresh. Fresh produce naturally ripens throughou
t transportation, that causes to lose moisture,
susceptible to spoilage, and deduce the
nutritional value. If considering the stages of
seafood, from caught in remote locations of the
sea to being sold at the market, it gets
spoiling slowly.
Contd..
16
While f rozen food produce is harvested at its
most ripen stage and rapidly frozen to preserve
its freshness and the nutritional value. These
kinds of seafood will freeze within hours after
catching, holding its flavour and nutritional
value until cooking. 3. FROZEN MEALS CAN BE
ECO-FRIENDLY Frozen food can reduce the amount
of food spoilage that is going to be a waste. It
can be divided into the correct sizes, in single
servings, and can last as much as more extended
than a few days. Food manufacturers often use
safe packages to transport meals.

4. F ROZEN FOODS CONTAIN UNHEALTHY AND UNWANTED
INGREDIENTS AND P RESERVATIVES Customers
might be imagining about the ingredients of the
frozen food. But some frozen foods contain
unwanted elements, like unfrozen foods, most are
packaged and prepared in their most natural
form. Since these foods often use flash-frozen
technology, the need for preservations can not
be a significant consideration
19
Conclusion
It is essential to understand in choosing healthy
frozen foods to maximize these benefits, But
with so many choices available, ensuring healthy
frozen food is not as simple as limiting ice
cream, pizza, etc. the food you have. Also,
make use of healthy frozen meals delivered
directly to you. Food research lab turns to be
your eye-opener about the knowledge of frozen
foods.
