Best Answer

water vapor or humidity

The food contains ice when it is n the freezer. This ice can evaporate ( a process called sublimation this increases the content of water vapor in the package. If by some chance an ice crystal starts to grow on the surface of the food or on the package this vapor will freeze on this in preference to the ice within the food. This loss of ice in the food and growth of external ice crystals is called freezer burn. If the temperature of the food cycles as it does in most freezers this process is accelerated. And so you ice cream gets dried out and there are lots of beautiful ice crystals on the lid and on top of the ice cream. To prevent the problem make sure the package has little or no space above the food.

Can ice freeze in a refrigerator?

Ice is already frozen, but if you mean can you make ice in a refrigerator, the answer is yes provided it has a freezing compartment.well... since ice is already frozen i am not sure what you are trying to askif you mean will water freeze then yes it can most refrigerators should be kept between 32 and 40 degrees if it is over then your food could spoil if it is too close to 32 then water could possibly freeze from being too coldalso if you have food or liquid in a fridge tht is right next to a freezer then if ur food is in the fridge on the side closest to the freezer it could freeze from being to cold since it is sitting on the side next to the frezer lol and if u feel the little wall thingy if you have tht kind of fridge then tht wall is always very cold more so thn the wall on the other side if tht makes any sense...??

Does Missouri get cold enough for raccoons to torpor?

Raccoons do not hibernate. Cold rarely causes them to stay in their den and sleep. However, deep snow makes it nearly impossible to find food so they will den up until conditions improve. I have spent a couple winters in Missouri and the snow can get deep enough to prevent raccoons fro being active.

How does NASA make freeze dried food?

NASA does not make freeze dried food, they buy it from contractors that make it to NASA specifications (like everything else NASA uses). Freeze dried foods are made by freezing the food, then placing it in a vacuum chamber. The vacuum causes the frozen water in the food to sublime (change directly from solid to vapor without melting). After all the water is removed the food is removed from the vacuum chamber.
