Yes. Processing the food will destroy vitamins, for example, soluble ones. preserving food can cause vitamins to be destroyed through improper storage, added preservatives, and even washing or soaking the food in water to clean it before canning it can cause vitamins to be lost.
Some processed food, like instant ones, have to be cooked before being packaged, resulting in large amounts of the vitamins being lost through the process.

Any time a cooking process is involved, vitamins are decreased. There is no way to remove all the vitams in fruit or vegetables though, they would still be present in canning.

I am pretty sure when you peel fruit and then put it in water in a can some of the vitamins get leeched out.

I've heard it does but I believe this is minimal by blanching first
