<p> **Abstract:**<br>This research aims to explore the effects of various food processing methods on the nutritional content of food products. The study will investigate how techniques such as heating, freezing, drying, and canning affect the levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other essential nutrients in different types of foods. By understanding these effects, the research seeks to provide insights into optimizing food processing techniques to better preserve nutritional quality and promote public health.<br><br>**Table of Contents:**<br><br>**
