What exactly is freezer burn and why does it make food taste bad?
In: Chemistry
It’s when a lot of water gets into your freezer and in turn into the food you’re freezing in there, his extra water freezes and expands in the food, thus damaging the food.
It’s just oxidation. If you put food in a freezer it won’t rot, but if it’s not well sealed from air oxygen will still affect it in a way that makes it taste bad. Normally food when left out will rot before oxidation becomes a problem so this effect is usually only seen with frozen food. It has nothing to do with burning.
