Detailed explanation-1: -Freezer burn is a condition that occurs when frozen food has been damaged by dehydration and oxidation due to air reaching the food. It is generally caused by food not being securely wrapped in air-tight packaging.
Detailed explanation-2: -These crystals migrate to the surface of food and eventually to the coldest part of your freezer through a process called sublimation (1). Sublimation is similar to evaporation, but it doesn’t involve liquid. Instead, a substance changes directly from a solid into a gas.
Detailed explanation-3: -When meat gets freezer burn, it loses moisture from its surface and takes on a gray, brown, or gray-brown color. Meat and other foods with freezer burn might get a grainy texture or look dry and tough. You might find that freezer burn creates weird flavors, as well.
