The vitamins are most easily destroyed during the processing and cooking of foods.
>Mainly Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B9 are the most destructible nutrients on heating or processing the fruits, vegetables and other food ingredients.
>The molecules of these water-soluble vitamins are easily decomposed on cooking with water and on exposure to alkalinity, heat and even air, thus losing the nutritional qualities.

Correct Answer is Vitamins
Explanation :
Vitamins are essential nutrients required by our body for healthy growth. These can be destroyed while food is processed and cooking.
Some Vitamins like Thiamine and Vitamin C dissolve in water so we lose these vitamins while cooking them.
For example :
Potato's Vitamin B and C is lost when we wash and boil it to cook.
Loss of Riboflavin will result due to exposure of food to strong light or heat.
