Defrosting of Frozen Food
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready- made meals.
