Microorganisms are not destroyed by freezing. After defrosting,
their activity is resumed intensively and the food may perish
quickly. Therefore, use the thawed food as quickly as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food,
particularly fruit, vegetables, and ready-to-eat food.
