Abstract

Freezing is an effective means of inhibiting spoilage and prolonging the shelf life of food products. However, traditional freezing methods are prone to the formation of large and irregular ice crystals, which can lead to the deterioration of food quality. Finding a suitable freezing method to inhibit the deterioration of food quality caused by freezing is a pressing issue for the food freezing industry. Isochoric freezing is an emerging freezing technology that uses an isochoric environment where the formation of ice crystals increases the internal pressure of the environment and lowers the freezing point of the liquid phase, leaving the liquid phase in a supercooled environment, inhibiting the appearance of ice crystals in the food in the liquid phase, and reducing the damage to food tissue caused by ice crystal growth. This paper reviewed the equipment, basic principles, and applications of isochoric freezing in food storage, to provide a reference for the application of isochoric freezing in food storage.
