Summary

Low temperatures notwithstanding, ice does not form at extremely high atmospheric pressure. Then, following rapid drop in pressure, ice crystals form in sizes 30 to 100 times smaller than with blast freezing. As a result, in addition to better food texture, there is a reduction in microorganisms and bacterial load.
