Freezing is a method that preserves food from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten. Since early times, farmers, fishermen, and trappers have held grains and produce in unheated buildings during the winter season. Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting most bacterial species' growth. There are two processes in the food commodity industry: mechanical and cryogenic (or flash freezing). The freezing kinetics is essential to preserve food quality and texture. Quicker freezing generates smaller ice crystals and maintains cellular structure. Cryogenic freezing is the fastest freezing technology available due to the ultra-low liquid nitrogen temperature ?196 ?C (?320 ?F). Preserving food in home kitchens during modern times is achieved using household freezers. Accepted advice to householders was to freeze food on the day of purchase. An initiative by a supermarket group in 2012 (backed by the UK's Waste & Resources Action Programme) supports the freezing of food "as soon as possible up to the product's 'use by' date". The Food Standards Agency was reported as supporting the change, provided the food had been stored perfectly up to that time. Advantages of Frozen food: Frozen foods preserve their vitamins and minerals and there is no change to the carbohydrate, protein or fat content. In some cases, frozen foods have more vitamins and minerals than fresh foods because fresh foods lose vitamins and minerals over time while freezing preserves nutrients.

In addition to a time-saving convenience, frozen foods can benefit individuals with limited kitchen space or utensils. Not only can frozen foods be more affordable in price, but they can also reduce food waste. How to choose Frozen Food?
