Question

How does frozen food sometimes “taste like a freezer”?

In: Chemistry

Answer 1

Whenever you freeze something you’re freezing mostly the water trapped inside it, this means you’ll never achieve 100% freezing stage with a conventional freezer because the water is trapped and usually insulated from the cold, what you’re talking about is the flavor of the stalled non freeze water; other explanation maybe the constant freezing and unfreezing in the food caused by the temperature oscillations in the environment, whenever the water unfreezes it dissolves and traps whatever is near, so you maybe tasting your food thru the water
