This study was performed to determine the quality characteristics of mixed polysaccharide gels made from kcarrageenan and locust bean gum with various kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. The syneresis, rupture properties, TPA properties and sensory properties of the mixed polysaccharide gels with various kiwifruit contents after freeze-thawing were measured. The syneresis of the gel with various kiwifruit contents by freeze-thawing was not significantly different, whereas repeating freeze-thawing resulted in remarkable increase in the syneresis of the mixed polysaccharide gels with 5％, 20％ and 40％ kiwifruit. In terms of the rupture properties, the rupture stress, rupture energy and rupture strain decreased with increasing kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. In terms of the TPA properties, the adhesiveness, hardness and chewiness increased and the cohesiveness decreased with increasing kiwifruit content after freeze-thawing. The rupture properties, springiness and cohesiveness of the gel by freeze-thawing were lower than those of the gel stored in the refrigerator. In contrast, the gumminess, hardness and chewiness of the gel after freeze-thawing were higher than those of the gel stored in the refrigerator. The results showed that the gel became crumbly and tough as a result of freeze-thawing. In the sensory evaluation, He overall acceptability of the gel after freeze-thawing was highest at the 30％ kiwifruit content, and differences in the sensory properties between the gel after freeze-thawing and that stored in the refrigerator were small. Therefore, mixed polysaccharide gels with kiwifruit after freeze-thawing could be useful despite the small decrease in quality.

The effect of freeze drying and fixatives in post-treating freeze drying on the morphological properties of the rose (Rosa hybrida L.) petal were investigated for the production of high quality of freeze dried rose. The morphology including form and color of the dried flowers of cut rose were depended on the drying methods. The drying time was extended due to their density and water content, and was shorter in the freeze drying than that in the natural and hot air drying. Freeze dried process for dried flowers took 2 days in a freeze dryer and did not cause shrinkage or toughening of rose petal being dried, preserving its natural shape and color. The diameter of freeze dried flowers showed little reduction compared to fresh flowers. In Hunter color values of petals of freeze dried flowers, L and a values were high and showed little variations in comparison to fresh petals. Freeze drying led to a noticeable increase in anthocyanin contents in petals, suggesting that anthocyanin contents play an important role in the acquisition of freezing tolerance. Exposure of flowers to freeze drying was accompanied by an increase in the carotenoid content. In the post-treating freeze drying, epoxy resin, a fixative, applied alone or in combination to petals of freeze dried flowers showed efficient coating for the protection from humidity and sunlight. Combined application of epoxy and acetone to freeze dried petals permitted maintenance of natural color and excellent tissue morphology, showing color stability and shiny texture in surface of petals. These findings suggest that application of fixatives to freeze dried rose petals improves the floral preservation and epoxy coating provides good quality in the freeze dried flower product.

The processing characteristics of freeze-dried pork powder as raw meat for comminuted meat products were compared with those of freeze-thawed pork. The tertiary structural properties, oxidation, and solubility of proteins in the freeze-dried pork powder were investigated. In addition, the properties of the emulsion gels manufactured with freeze-dried pork powder (GFD) and freeze-thawed pork (GFT) at 1.5% and 2.0% NaCl were evaluated. The surface hydrophobicity and intrinsic tryptophan fluorescence intensity of myofibrillar proteins between the freeze-dried pork powder and freeze-thawed pork were similar. However, freeze-dried pork powder had higher carbonyl compounds and lower solubility of sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins than freeze-thawed pork (p<0.05). GFD had higher cooking loss than GFT in 2.0% NaCl, and lower hardness and a^* value of GFD were observed regardless of NaCl level (p<0.05). Moreover, GFD had higher malondialdehyde content than GFT at the two NaCl concentrations (p<0.05). Therefore, our study demonstrated that freeze-dried pork powder has lower functional properties than freeze-thawed pork as raw meat for comminuted meat products.

본 연구의 목적은 동결건조된 김치를 시료로 선정하여 동결건조 시간이 건조된 김치제품의 미생물학적인 특성, 관능적 특성 및 다른 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 "건조김치"의 제조에 적합한 동결건조 시간을 알아내는 것이다. 김치를 24, 48, 72시간 동결건조한 후, 건조제품의 젖산균수, pH, 관능적 특성, 파쇄도, 복원성 및 수분함량, 배추조직의 미세구조를 관찰하여 동결건조 시간이 건조김치의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 원시료에 비하여 24시간 건조시킨 제품의 생균수 및 pH가 현저하게 변화하였으나, 그 후에는 72시간까지 거의 변화가 없었다. 24시간 건조김치보다 48시간 또는 72시간 건조김치의 전반적인 기호성이 우수하였다. 동결 건조 시간이 24시간에서 48시간, 72시간으로 증가할수록 건조김치의 파쇄성은 증가하였다. 동결건조 시간이 경과할수록 건조김치의 복원성이 개선되고, 건조김치의 중량과 함유된 수분함량은 감소하였다. 본 실험의 조건하에서는 건조김치의 제조에 적합한 동결건조 시간은 미생물학적인 측면에서 보면 24시간도 큰 문제는 없으나, 관능적 특성과 건조제품의 품질특성의 측면에서 판단하면 48시간이 보다 바람직하였다.

A study was undertaken to examine the effect of adding freeze dried maquiberry powder on the quality of pound cakes. Freeze dried maquiberry was added to the flour at a ratio of 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2.5%. The antioxidant activity was estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity, the total phenolic compounds content, and flavonoid content in freeze dried maquiberry powder of pounds cakes. Antioxidative activity was highly correlated with the total phenolic and total flavonoids contents of freeze dried maquiberry powder of pound cakes (r=0.9126, p<0.001, r=0.8366, p<0.001, respectively). The quality characteristics of freeze dried maquiberry powder of poundcakes were estimated. The specific volume decreased significantly with increased substitution level of freeze dried maquiberry powder (p<0.01). The lightness significantly decreased with increased freeze-dried maquiberry powder of pound cake crust and crumb (p<0.01, p<0.01). The hardness and adhesiveness increased, while gumminess tended to reduce with increased maquiberry powder. The consumer acceptability score of 0.5~2.5% freeze dried maquiberry powder of pound cakes ranked significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the other groups in overall preference. These results showed that freeze dried maquiberry powder is a good ingredient to increase consumer acceptability and health.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of freezing rate on ice crystal size and freeze-drying rate. Our experiments were carried out with self-manufactured freeze-dryer. Gelatin gels (2% w / w, 80$\times$20mm) were frozen unidirectionally (Neumann's model) from the bottom at -45, -30, -20, and -15$^{\circ}C$ and followed with freeze-drying. Under the upper conditions we measured freezing rate and the change of temperature and pressure during freeze drying. Freeze-dried gelatins were cut horizontally into 5 mm thickness from the bottom and measured their pore sizes. Also freeze-drying rate(primary drying) is estimated by measuring the temperature of sample and pressure of vacuum chamber. During freeze-drying, profiles of pressure and temperature were shown constant tendency regardless of freezing temperature and we could expect the end-point of freeze drying by considering pressure and temperature together. In temperature profiles, the point which temperature increased significantly was observed during freeze-drying. There is no relationship between freeze temperature and drying rate of primary drying in our model system. As freezing temperature increased, ice crystal size(X*) which correspond to 63.2% of cumulative frequency was increased and at the same freezing temperature ice crystal size(X*) was decreased with distance from the bottom of the sample. Freezing conditions have a strong influence on the quality of the final freeze-dried products in freeze-drying system.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of temperature and storage time on the quality and DNA integrity of freeze-dried sperm from individuals with normozoospermia. Methods: Normal sperm samples from 15 men aged 24 to 40 years were studied. Each sample was divided into six groups: fresh, freezing (frozen in liquid nitrogen), freeze-dried then preserved at room temperature for 1 month (FD-1m-RT), freeze-dried then preserved at room temperature for 2 months (FD-2m-RT), freeze-dried then preserved at 4 ℃ for 1 month (FD-1m-4 ℃), and freeze-dried then preserved at 4 ℃ for 2 months (FD-2m-4 ℃). The morphology, progressive motility, vitality, and DNA integrity of the sperm were evaluated in all groups. Results: In all freeze-dried groups, sperm cells were immotile after rehydration. The freeze-dried groups also showed significantly less sperm vitality than the fresh and frozen groups. Significantly more morphological sperm abnormalities were found in the freeze-dried groups, but freeze-drying did not lead to a significantly higher DNA fragmentation index (DFI). The DFI was significantly higher in the FD-2m-RT group than in the other freeze-dried groups. Conclusion: The freeze-drying method preserved the integrity of sperm DNA. The temperature and duration of storage were also identified as factors that influenced the DFI. Accordingly, more research is needed on ways to improve sperm quality in the freeze-drying process.

Freeze concentration of milk was carried out through the controlled recrystallization of ice in a multi-stage freeze concentrator. Rheological characteristics of ice slurries were analyzed to determine efficient concentration levels for the freeze concentration process. It was determined that efficient concentration level was 17% of total solids in the first and 27% in the second stage. Physicochemical properties were compared between freeze concentrated and evaporated milk. Freeze concentrated milk was more similar in color appearance to control milk than was evaporated milk. pH significantly decreased in evaporated milk than in freeze concentrated milk. pH of freeze concentrated milk resulted in similar value to control. These results indicated the advantages of freeze concentration as a non-thermal milk processing technology in terms of physicochemical properties. Consequently, we investigated the influence of ice recrystallization on the rheological characteristics of ice slurries and physicochemical properties of freeze concentrated milk.

As an index of freeze-injury of yeast, the leakage of intracellular substances from yeast cells after freeze-thawing was investigated. It was found that much more ultraviolet-absorbing substances leaked out from non-freeze tolerant yeast (NETY) than from freeze-tolerant yeast. Furthermore, the rate of leakage of cellular substances form NFTY during incubation exceeded that of FTY, indicating that NFTY is more susceptible to freeze-injury than FTY during frozen-storage. An apparent degradation of phospholipid was observed during incubation of perfermented frozen-cells of NFTY, while little change of phospholipid occurred in FTY, These results suggested that the difference in the sensitivity of yeast might be due to the strength of cell membrane in terms of the degradation of phospholipid by enzymes, phospholipases, attached to cell membranes.
