  2. Frozen food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frozen_food

    Fluidized bed freezing is a variant of air-blast freezing where pelletized food is blown by fast-moving cold air from below, forming a fluidized bed. The small size of the food combined with the fast-flowing air provides good heat transfer and therefore quicker freezing. Contact freezing uses physical contact other than air to transfer the heat.

  3. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    The headmaster invited Dr. Denis Osborne from the University College in Dar es Salaam to give a lecture on physics. After the lecture, Mpemba asked him, "If you take two similar containers with equal volumes of water, one at 35 °C (95 °F) and the other at 100 °C (212 °F), and put them into a freezer, the one that started at 100 °C (212 °F ...

  4. Flash freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_freezing

    Flash freezing being used for cryopreservation. Flash freezing is used in the food industry to quickly freeze perishable food items (see frozen food). In this case, food items are subjected to temperatures well below [clarification needed] the freezing point of water. Thus, smaller ice crystals are formed, causing less damage to cell membranes. [3]

  5. Individual quick freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_Quick_Freezing

    One of the main advantages of this method of preparing frozen food is that the freezing process takes only a few minutes. The exact time depends on the type of IQF freezer and the product. The short freezing prevents formation of large ice crystals in the product's cells, which destroys the membrane structures at the molecular level.

  6. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Freezing is a common method of food preservation that slows both food decay and the growth of micro-organisms. Besides the effect of lower temperatures on reaction rates, freezing makes water less available for bacteria growth. Freezing is a widely used method of food preservation. Freezing generally preserves flavours, smell and nutritional ...

  7. Freeze drying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze_drying

    The primary purpose of freeze drying within the food industry is to extend the shelf-life of the food while maintaining the quality. [1] Freeze-drying is known to result in the highest quality of foods of all drying techniques because structural integrity is maintained along with preservation of flavors. [ 1 ]

  8. Food preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_preservation

    Food preservation includes processes that make food more resistant to microorganism growth and slow the oxidation of fats. This slows down the decomposition and rancidification process. Food preservation may also include processes that inhibit visual deterioration, such as the enzymatic browning reaction in apples after they are cut during food ...

  9. Snap freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap_freezing

    Snap freezing (or cook-chill or blast freezing) is the process of rapid cooling of a substance for the purpose of preservation. It is widely used in the culinary and scientific industries. It is widely used in the culinary and scientific industries.
