Is cantaloupe juice healthy?
Cantaloupe is sweet and nutritious.However, is canned cantaloupe juice still nutritious after a series of processing?Let's take a look.
Canned food plays an important role in daily life.However, people have certain misconceptions about the manufacturing, storage principles, nutritional value, and how to identify the quality of canned food and storage methods.Many people believe that canned cantaloupe juice has lost its original nutritional value after a series of processing.
The processing procedure for canned food is simple, usually only requiring heating.More importantly, the heating temperature for canning is not too high, and sometimes even lower than that used for home cooking.Therefore, canned food has less nutritional loss than home cooking.In general, the canning temperature for pasteurization of meat and seafood is not more than 120°C;The canning temperature for vegetables and fruits is not more than 100°C.While the daily cooking temperature is easily more than 200°C.
Although we can easily buy "fresh" fruits from all over the world, they only appear fresh, but the nutrients are constantly lost.Because any vegetable or fruit continues to "breathe" after harvesting, and some nutrients are constantly reduced.Meanwhile, the entire process of cantaloupe juice from raw material harvesting to processing does not exceed 6 hours. High-temperature heat treatment stops or slows down the chemical reactions that cause nutrient loss, preserving the freshness and nutrition of the food.For example,peaches, after harvesting for one day, Vitamin C will be lost by 30%, whilepeachjuice only loses 10%. Therefore, compared to "fresh" fruits that have been transported long distances, cantaloupe juice is fresher.
Cantaloupe juice canned with fresh and high-quality raw materials, through advanced processing methods, can effectively retain the original nutrients of cantaloupe.
