Food Preservation - Freezing

Freezing

Freezing is also one of the most commonly used processes commercially and domestically for preserving a very wide range of food including prepared food stuffs which would not have required freezing in their unprepared state.

Cold stores provide large volume, long-term storage for strategic food stocks held in case of national emergency in many countries.
