The freezing and supercooling of garlic (Allium sativum L.).
Author(s) : JAMES C., SEIGNEMARTIN V., JAMES S. J.
Type of article: Article, IJR article
Summary
This work shows that peeled garlic cloves demonstrate significant supercooling during freezing under standard conditions and can be stored at temperatures well below their freezing point (-2.7°C) without freezing. The nucleation point or 'metastable limit temperature' (the point at which ice crystal nucleation is initiated) of peeled garlic cloves was found to be between -7.7 and -14.6°C. Peeled garlic cloves were stored under static air conditions at temperatures between -6 and -9°C for up to 69 h without freezing, and unpeeled whole garlic bulbs and cloves were stored for 1 week at -6°C without freezing.
