As any other evolving technology, freezing tries to develop new applications of known procedures, as in combination with partial dehydration in dehydrofreezing or using fluidization principles in hydrofluidization (HF) ...

The physical properties of coffee solutions were determined for temperatures close to the freezing point. Rheological behaviour, freezing curve, density, and their relationship between coffee mass fraction and Brix degrees ...

In high-mountain habitats, summer frosts have negative consequences for plant fitness, therefore high-mountain plants have developed mechanisms of avoidance and tolerance to cope with freezing temperatures. Various ...

The bovine pericardium has been used as biomaterial in developing bioprostheses. Freeze-drying is a drying process that could be used for heart valve's preservation. The maintenance of the characteristics of the biomaterial ...

The freezing point depression of mango and papaya pulps was measured by using a simple apparatus, consisting of two major sections: a freezing vessel and a data acquisition system. The thermal conductivity of both pulps ...

The use of low temperatures is an important factor for maintaining postharvest quality of fruits and greatly influences the rate of deterioration. The objective of cooling is to prolong the commercial life of perishable ...

This study evaluated the effects of freezing, prior to and after dry aging, on the microbiological and physical-chemical quality of beef. Strip loins (n = 24) from 12 carcasses were assigned to four treatments: non-frozen ...
