Experimental study on the freezing characteristics of four kinds of vegetables

Abstract Mushroom, green cauliflower, navy bean and pea pod are four kinds of favored vegetables. Their freezing characteristics are studied in this paper. For fresh samples, the moisture contents of mushroom, navy bean, pea pod and green cauliflower were 88.7±4.9, 92.9±0.4, 87.7±1.0 and 89.7±0.9 g/100 g, respectively. After pre-treating, cooling curve method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to measure the end-points of freezing and glass transition temperatures. The initial freezing points varied from −0.1 to −2.7 °C. The end-points of freezing were all below −20.0 °C. The partial glass transition temperatures varied from −50.3 to −76.1 °C. With a cryomicroscope, the sizes of ice crystals in frozen vegetable saps were found to decrease from 26 to 3 μm when the freezing rates increased from 1.0 to 10.0 °C/min.
