What is the difference between frozen and deep-frozen?
In both cases, we are referring to a technique that involves a drastic lowering of the temperature of a food, which occurs with the aim of preserving it for as long as possible.
However, these two methods are different from each other because they follow very distinct procedures, and not only that. In fact, deep-freezing and freezing meat differ mainly in two elements: the degrees Celsius to which the food to be preserved is brought and the duration of the process.
So let's look in detail at the differences between deep-frozen meat and frozen meat.
Pros and cons of freezing
How many times have you put a package of meat in the freezer? In that case, we are talking about freezing, a system that we can define as "do-it-yourself" that gradually and slowly brings the food (raw or cooked) to a temperature below 0° C (usually between -7° C and -12° C).
Freezing is very effective for extending the shelf life, but it has some critical issues:
Large ice crystals form that can cause damage to the biological structure and the food does not retain the original nutritional and organoleptic values ​​​​of when it was fresh.
It does not allow you to completely block the activity of living cells and enzymes that continue to "work", contributing to a form, albeit slowed down, of deterioration of the original quality.
3 advantages of freezing meat
This is an ultra-fast and efficient freezing technique. Through industrial freezing, the meat reaches a temperature of -18 ° C in a very short time and this rapid cooling brings numerous advantages:
Unlike freezing, freezing meat allows the formation of micro-crystals of water that do not damage the biological structure of the food.
It leaves the organoleptic and nutritional structures (proteins, vitamins, etc.) intact without affecting the original flavor, tenderness and juiciness.
It significantly reduces the bacterial load, keeping the product at its maximum potential.
In practice, the natural aging process is blocked until you decide to defrost the product which will be fresh, indeed better.

What is acrylamide and why is it so dangerous?

«It is now known that it is created by burning food, and activating a little, like in the Maillard reaction that is studied in school (discovered by the French chemist Louise Camille Maillard in 1912, it involves carbohydrates called reducing agents, or sugars such as glucose and fructose, and amino acids. The two elements together, subjected to high temperatures, are responsible for the characteristic smell and flavor of many foods ed.) the reaction between sugars and amino acids. Let's start from the concept that everything that is burnt is bad for you, so it can happen in the restaurant perhaps by eating a pizza, where the oven has not been cleaned well, or the temperature used is too high and therefore it arrives, especially at the edges, black and burnt. It doesn't have to be like this. The same thing can happen with any other food.
Industrial bread, sliced ​​bread - to be clear - used for toast, if burnt or well cooked, produces acrylamide.
