作为日常饮食的重要组成部分，蔬菜、水果的营养价值自然不言而喻，而冷冻蔬果在消费者眼中却略显 尴尬。 冷冻蔬果延长营养留存 从直观上来看，大众普遍会认为，冷冻蔬菜营养流失严重，不如新鲜蔬菜。但答案似乎并非如此。 中国科学技术协会旗下"科学辟谣"官微曾多次发布文章称，冷冻蔬菜没有营养是一种常见误区。 冷冻蔬菜系利用快速低温冷冻的方式对蔬菜进行处理。由于速冻的温度低，细菌活动被抑制，蔬菜细胞 内的代谢反应也几乎停止，因为可以很好地保留其所含的营养。以维生素C和矿物质为例，相比室温储 存的新鲜蔬菜，冷冻蔬菜因速冻过程抑制了氧化和细菌作用，减少了酶降解反应，反而保存率更高。因 此，在不便获得新鲜蔬菜时冷冻蔬菜可以是新鲜蔬菜的替代品。 有业内人士表示，在普通储存条件下，蔬菜和水果的营养流失是一个必然的过程。而通过低温隔绝这些 导致蔬果营养成分流失的因素，反而可以延长蔬果中营养成分的留存。 以西兰花为例，蔬菜在采后常温贮藏中极易发生黄化和衰老，尤其是采后置于20～25℃条件下。通常来 讲，工业预制西兰花的加工步骤包括清洗、切分、烫漂和冷冻4个步骤。 需要指出的是，真正决定冷冻果蔬品质的核心环节是"快速冷冻"技术，目前行业主 ...
