The enhanced interest in greater convenience foods has recently led to the expansion of minimally processed potato products. This study investigated the effects of isochoric freezing on pre-peeled potato cubes, including quality attributes (microstructure, texture, and color), nutritional value (ascorbic acid (AA) content, total phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity), and polyphenol oxidase activity. Isochoric freezing (-3 °C/30 MPa) was compared with isobaric freezing (-3 °C/0.1 MPa) and individual quick freezing followed by frozen storage at -20 °C for 4 weeks. The isochoric sample had lower drip loss and volume shrinkage as well as better preserved texture and microstructure than the other samples. All freezing methods caused an increase in total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity, but a decrease in AA content. Also, all freezing methods caused browning of the thawed potatoes, but isochoric freezing delayed its onset for more than 1 week. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Results showed that isochoric freezing of pre-peeled and cut potatoes caused less freeze damage than isobaric and individual quick freezing, which might find application in the commercial preservation of minimally processed food products.

Phase stability, and the limits thereof, are a central concern of materials thermodynamics. However, the temperature limits of equilibrium liquid stability in chemical systems have only been widely characterized under constant (typically atmospheric) pressure conditions, whereunder these limits are represented by the eutectic. At higher pressures, the eutectic will shift in both temperature and chemical composition, opening a wide thermodynamic parameter space over which the absolute limit of liquid stability, i.

Biomedical research on advanced cryopreservation has spillover effects on innovation in the food and agricultural sector. Advanced biopreservation technology has three key domains of impact in the food system: (1) improving efficiencies in storage and utilization of gametes and organoids for plant and animal breeding; (2) isochoric methods for preservation of fresh food products; and (3) in biorepositories for storage of genetic resources for agriculturally significant plants and livestock species.

This study outlines a method for designing an isochoric (constant volume) system to reduce the supercooling preservation temperature without affecting the likelihood of ice nucleation and without the need for cryoprotective additives. The method involves a multiphase system wherein the biological material is separated from a second aqueous solution by a boundary that transfers pressure and heat but not mass. The pressure within the system is passively increased by the confined growth of ice within the secondary solution.

Introduction: Fruits are perishable, thus it's crucial to have an efficient preservation technique that can increase storage time while keeping physical quality and nutritional attributes in order to avoid wastage. The majority of methods for long-term storage require refrigeration.
Methods: In this investigation, we assess the viability of isochoric freezing as a different technique of raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.

The present article responds to the food engineering community's growing interest in an emerging and lauded approach to food preservation, popularised by its developers as ''. A strong campaign in the scientific literature and mass media has recently promoted this technique as a universal replacement for traditional food freezing and the frozen supply chain by highlighting a number of alleged advantages of ''. Some of these claims therefore require a more neutral and critical assessment against the background of the today's state of the art in food freezing technologies.
