What is the effect on nutrients when foods are stored, prepared and processed in a specific way?!
but there are a few exceptions.
- sun dried tomatoes actually gain nutrients when dried, due to the sunlight.
- unions when baked loose acidity, but gain sugars.
im sure there are more, these are the ones that sprung to mind.
Answers: nutrients are lost in all cases, how much depends on the method used. Vitamins decay/evaporate. only salts and mineral contents are hardly affected.

Uhhh...I think good.
depending on the process, if boiled and canned some are lost, if allowed to dry most stay. when you add moisture it deletes the amount in the "fruit, veggie".
In some cases certain ways of cooking adds nutrients
Some nutrients are lost in the processing and packaging some are actually preserved, where they would have normally be lost by the general decay of food in the aging process.!
Ordinary heat processing reduces nutrient value. But improved technology like Hypobaric storage, Modifies Atmosphere storage, etc preserves nutrient quality. Spray drying is better than sudden drying or sun drying. Pressure cooker cooking is better than open pan cooking.
Basically nothing...
There are so many of the many compounds ..
(start with trillions) a small dilution has no true effect..
the chemistry of your digestive system will even make up some nutrients from your fat..
People have been preserving food for a very long time..
Brine being one of the oldest..
The earliest settlers and pioneers used salt to dehydrate precious meat,, fish,, and foods..
