Freezing is considered as one of the oldest, better and most widely used
methods of food preservation. This method allows the preservation of taste, texture,
and nutritional value in foods. Freezing is a quick and convenient way to preserve
fruits and vegetables at home. Home frozen fruits and vegetables of high quality
and maximum nutritional value can be produced done correctly.
Freezing has beneficial effects of low temperatures at which microorganisms
cannot grow, chemical reactions are reduced, and cellular metabolic reactions are
delayed.
Frozen fruits and vegetables are not only a good source of nutrients but also
provide a steady supply of products and raw materials throughout the year.
Washing of all fresh produce must be done using running and drinking
water before peeling, cutting or eating.
Wash hands with hot soapy water, for at least 20 seconds, before and
after handling fresh produce, or raw meat, poultry or seafood, as well as
after using the bathroom, changing diapers, or handling pets.
Wash all fresh produce under running, drinking water before peeling,
cutting or eating. The wash water temperature should be 10 de-
grees warmer than the temperature of any produce being washed to prevent
thermal shock and absorption of water and bacteria to the inside cells.
Scrubbing with a clean brush is only recommended for produce with a
tough rind or peel (such as carrots, potatoes, cucumbers and squash) that
will not be bruised or scratched by the brush bristles.
