Answer 1

$\huge\underline\frak{\fbox{AnSwEr :-}}$

- Food becomes more tender and pliable with the desired cooked flavour andtaste.

- Preservative effect on foods owing to destruction of microorganisms,enzymes, insects and parasites.

-Significant destruction of antinutritional components in food.

-improvement in bioavailability of some nutrients (for example improveddigestibility of proteins and gelatinization of starches etc.).

- Relatively simple control of processing conditions.

Answer 2

Answer:

Advantages include faster, more uniform heating, good mixing of the product, reduction in effluent, shorter processing time and hence reduced loss of soluble and heat sensitive components. There is also some use of microwaves for blanching. Advantages include rapid heating and less loss of water soluble components.
