SOLUTE EFFECTS ON ICE RECRYSTALLIZATION: AN ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE.

Type of article: Article
Summary
RELIABLE ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF A SOLUTE UPON ICE RECRYSTALLIZATION IS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE IMPACTION OF A SMALL SOLUTION DROPLET ONTO A VERY COLD METAL PLATE. THE ICE DISC HAS EXTREMELY SMALL CRYSTALS, AND RECRYSTALLIZATION CAN BE FOLLOWED WITHOUT CONFUSING EFFECTS CAUSED BY GRAIN NUCLEATION. THIS METHOD CONFIRMS THE EXCEPIONALLY STRONG RECRYSTALLIZATION INHIBITION EFFECT OF ANTIFREEZE PROTEIN FROM ANTARCTIC FISH AND SHOWS THAT GRAIN GROWTH RATE IS A SENSITIVE FUNCTION OF BOTH GRAIN SIZEAND SOLUTE CONCENTRATION.
