Exposure to **heat**, **light**, and **oxygen** can cause a loss of certain vitamins.

- **Heat** can degrade heat-sensitive vitamins (like vitamin C and some B vitamins).
- **Light** can break down light-sensitive vitamins (like riboflavin and certain carotenoids).
- **Oxygen** can lead to oxidation, which can degrade certain vitamins (like vitamins A, C, and E).

**Refrigeration**, on the other hand, generally helps in preserving the nutritional quality of food, including vitamins, by slowing down the degradation processes.
