冷凍肉與冷凍肉
由 Aussie Meat
冷藏與冷凍。這是一場自 1917 年以來一直在肆虐的衝突,當時 Birdseye 先生凍結了他的第一條魚。一個世紀以來,冷凍食品繼續與冷藏食品爭奪市場份額,2015年銷售額呈現穩定的同比增長。但隨著年輕消費者表現出越來越注重健康,冷藏“新鮮”食品再次受到歡迎。五分之一的消費者認為冷藏食品比冷凍食品更健康、更自然。
在食品工業中,冷凍通常是指深度冷凍,或將產品的溫度降低到-18°C以下。相比之下,冷藏是指將食品從其製造溫度快速冷卻到冷藏或低溫,通常為 1 至 4°C。
新鮮的最好在 1-4 攝氏度冷藏,除非有冷凍食品。沒錯:冷凍食品與新鮮食品一樣——在某些情況下——更有營養。購買當天,冷凍食品和新鮮食品的營養成分相似。在冰箱中放置五天后,新鮮的維生素 A、維生素 C 和葉酸的含量低於冷凍的。為獲得最佳口感,請僅在冰箱 (1-4C) 中放置 1-2 天。請記住,當肉類和海鮮保持在 5 攝氏度以上時,冷凍前可能存在的細菌會開始繁殖。
冷藏食品的問題是一些食品分銷商在冷凍後聲稱這一點。冷凍過的食物永遠都不新鮮。試圖欺騙顧客不僅是一件壞事,而且是不可持續的。請注意,冷藏紅肉從圍場到盤子通常經過大約 4 週的濕老化過程,然後才適合食用。
真正的冷凍食品 (1-4C) 使分銷商付出了不小的代價,因為在接近或超過保質期後,大量庫存被處置(或以折扣價出售)。這些浪費成本必須計入產品收費價格中,並轉嫁給消費者。
這意味著冷藏食品通常要經過各種化學處理以延長保質期,冷藏牛肉的包裝中會注入無害的“氣調”氣體以保持肉的紅色。
用於保存冷凍食品的過程都是完全安全的。但重要的是要認識到,許多人最終在我們的盤子上經歷了人工化學變化。與此同時,優質冷凍食品經過自然過程,被證明可以鎖住健康的營養。
