Effects of continuous soaking, freezing, and drying on physicochemical properties of corn and potato starches were investigated to prove potentials of sequential physical modification method. High temperature soaking showed the higher swelling power than low temperature soaking in both starches right after soaking. Freezing did not significantly rearrange the molecular structure of both starches. Drying greatly change the physicochemical properties of both starches in the order of freeze, air and spray dryings. Consequently, sequential treatment of soaking, freezing, and drying lowered RVA pasting characteristics (peak viscosity, breakdown, setback) as well as amylopectin melting transition temperature compared to native starch. Particularly, potato starch showed more significant change than corn starch, possibly due to the differences in water absorption, amylose content, crystallinity, granule size, etc. Overall, high temperature soaking and freeze drying significantly change the RVA, DSC and XRD characteristics in the sequential treatment of soaking, freezing and drying of starches.

Freezing and thawing often cause significant damage to the muscle tissue of seafood products, reducing their quality and shelf life. This study investigated the combined effects of soy protein isolate (SPI) and sorbitol (So) to mitigate freezing damage in portuguese oysters. A single-factor analysis was performed to determine the optimal concentrations of SPI (1 %-9 %), So (1 %-9 %), and soaking times (30-90 min) based on the steaming loss.

Aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs) have attracted increasing attention due to their low cost and high energy density. However, their practical applications are constrained by Zn dendritic growth, self-corrosion, and poor low-temperature adaptability. Herein, a multi-component hydrogel electrolyte is proposed to address these challenges.

Background: Cryoablation is an integral therapeutic approach in dermatology for eliminating viral warts and benign tumors by damaging tissue through freeze-thaw cycles. Rapid thawing of the frozen area by warming it with fingertips during cryoablation is a common technique in Japan; however, its efficacy has not been elucidated.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of rapid thawing on cryoablation-treated skin and clarify the underlying mechanisms using cryoablation model mice.

Hydrogel-based flexible electronic devices have garnered significant attention due to their excellent mechanical properties, high electrical conductivity, and signal sensitivity. Nevertheless, internal water molecules crystallize inevitably at low temperatures, impairing the performance of hydrogels. Designing anti-freezing and tough hydrogels to meet long-term stability requirements is extremely challenging.
