Nutrition and catering: 3. Nutrient losses in cook-freeze and cook-chill catering.
Information on nutrient losses in cook-chill and cook-freeze catering systems is reviewed, which is limited and conflicting. In general it suggests that cook-freeze systems result in better vitamin C retention than conventional systems with significant warmholding periods. Losses of vitamin C, and possibly other labile nutrients appear to be significant in cook-chill systems.
