A review on pressure assisted thawing and freezing of foods.

Summary

The phase diagram of water under pressure shows that the phase change temperature of water is decreasing with pressure below 220 MPa while the opposite effect is observed above this pressure. This phenomenon permits to achieve rapid thawing or rapid freezing of foods, which mainly contain water. The study presents a compilation of the recent literature available.
