Summary

Thawing rates securing the best survival for microorganisms (86-94%) are 0.14-3 K/second for Lactococcus and 0.65-3 K/second for Lactobacillus. Acidifying and proteolytic activities of lactic bacteria depend only very slightly on thawing rate. Diacetyl and acetoine production depend on thawing kinetics.
