Abstract
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of different freezing conditions and storage periods on physicochemical and microbial characteristics of garlic. Garlics were washed, dried, sliced to 0.3 cm then packed in LDPE+LLDPE film bags. They were treated with still-air freezing at $-20^{\circ}C$ (SAF20), $-40^{\circ}C$ (SAF40) and immersed-liquid freezing at $-40^{\circ}C$ (ILF40). Frozen garlics were stored under frozen storage conditions for 7 months at $-20^{\circ}C$ and quality characteristics were measured monthly during the frozen storage. Freezing rate of garlic was the fastest in ILF 40 (10 min), SAF40 (40 min) and SAF20 (1,600 min) sequentially. In ILF40, drip loss, cutting force, total aerobic bacteria count and pH were the lowest, whereas pyruvic acid and allicin content were the highest (p<0.05) during frozen storage, these results were the most similar characteristics with the fresh garlic. During frozen storage, drip loss, color difference and total organic acid content were significantly fluctuated in SAF20 (p<0.05), while they were not changed in ILF40. Overall, total aerobic bacteria count and pH decreased, cutting force, pyruvic acid and allicin content remained unchanged in all groups. In conclusion, the optimal freezing conditions for garlic with the least quality changes was considered to be ILF40 (immersed liquid freezing), keeping quality characteristics up to 7 months by freezing storage.
