One of the drawbacks of food processing includes a decrease in nutritional density. Which essential nutrient is destroyed as a result of heating and improper storage?
Answer Vitamin C
While some nutrients are tolerant of heat, such as iron, Vitamin K, and Vitamin B12, heat will destroy water-soluble ones like Vitamin C. Vitamin C is also sensitive to air exposure and light, making it hard to maintain during food processing.
