High pressure assisted freezing in biological products.

Author(s) : OTERO L., MARTINO M., ZARITZKY N., et al.

Summary

Freezing biological products is one of the most interesting applications of high pressure (HP) technologies. In the work, the effects of such processes on the microstructure of large pieces of beef meat are analyzed. In HP assisted freezing, the supercooling reached after the release of pressure yields an instantaneous nucleation of water throughout the sample at the same time, inducing small intracellular ice crystal production at the surface and in the centre of the product.
