Benefits of food processing include preservation, toxin removal, easing marketing and distribution tasks, and increased food consistency. In addition, it increases yearly availability of many foods, enables transportation of delicate perishable foods across long distances and makes many kinds of foods safe to eat by de-activating spoilage and pathogenic micro-organisms. Modern supermarkets would not exist without modern food processing techniques, and long voyages would not be possible. Any processing of food can affect its nutritional density. The loss of nutrients depends on the food and processing method.
For example the heat destroys the vitamin C. Therefore, canned fruits possess less vitamin C than their fresh alternatives. On average this process reduces any given nutrient by as little as 5%-20%. New research highlighting the importance to human health of a rich microbial environment in the intestine indicates that abundant food processing endangers that environment.
