THAWING FROZEN FOODS
It is necessary to give spe
cial care to frozen foods when
thawing. It is during thawing
that food undergoes many
changes likely to affect food
quality
How food is best handled be
ford and after frozen storage
depends much on storage tem
perature and the nature of the
product. Most food products
undergo changes even at tem
peratures far below zero. Most
of these changes are of a phy
sical and chemical nature.
la addition, quality changes
in frozen food are influenced
l>y the nature of the product.
And food quality will likely
undergo change during thaw

Different foods require dif
ferent thawing procedures. For
example, you can thaw most
frozen vegetables by placing
them directly in boiling water.
But you can’t do this to froz
en meat products. Generally,
larger pieces of meat need to
be paitially thawed before
cooking. In some cases, small
er 'meat pieces can be rooked
directly without thawing
Always thaw frozen fruits
at room temperature. After
thawing, fruit pioducts should
be consumed fairly quickly.
Frozen fruits usually can’t ibe
kept long a *ar thawing.
Invastigati ns on frozen stor
age show I nat most frozen
foods are not in an inactive
stage. Even during frozen stor
age, food products deteriorate
at a rate dependent on the na

storage temperature. Most dam
age to foods in deep freeze
can be attributed to chemical
changes and i eerystallization
within the product during
frozen storage.
Products differ in their rate
of deterioration during frozen
storage. Fish, for example,

Two important things
when borrowing money
You need a sharp pencil plus the specialized financial advic®

best be served. Farm production must be maintained, even
Increased if possible. Providing the financing to insure this is
Farm Credit's job. Farm Credit loans are available now for any
sound farm need. And, at realistic rates. Farm

of the loan. That saves you money.
