Purpose: Frozen Korean traditional rice cakes (Sulgitteok and Garaetteok) were evaluated different conditions ($-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$) freezing (magnetic resonance quick freezing and air blast freezing) to study differences in quality characteristics. Methods: Experiments analyze Korean rice cakes for water content, water activity, color, textural properties, and sensory characteristics. Results: Moisture content showed high value at $-20^{\circ}C$ freezing regardless of freezing method. Water activity was higher at $-20^{\circ}C$ than $-10^{\circ}C$, and water activity higher magnetic resonance quick freezing than air blast freezing. The lightness values were higher $-20^{\circ}C$ freezing temperature compare to $-10^{\circ}C$ freezing temperature. Hardness and chewiness were the lowest $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing. sensory evaluation both Sulgitteok and Garaetteok showed better overall acceptability at $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing. Conclusion: Therefore, the $-20^{\circ}C$ magnetic resonance quick freezing method resulted in favorable textural properties and sensory characteristics.

Purpose: Quick freezing is widely used in commercial food storage. Well-known freezing techniques such as individual quick freezing require a low-temperature coolant and small cuts for the heat-transfer efficiency. However, the freezing method for bulk food resembles techniques used in the 1970s. In this study, electromagnetic (EM) heating was applied to improve the quick freezing of bulk food. Methods: During freezing, the surface of food can be rapidly cooled by an outside coolant, but the inner parts of the food cool slowly owing to the latent heat from the phase change. EM waves can directly heat the inner parts of food to prevent it from freezing until the outer parts finish their phase change and are cooled rapidly. The center temperature of garlic cloves was probed with optical thermo sensors while liquid nitrogen (LN) was sprayed. Results: When EM heating was applied, the center cooling time of the garlic cloves from freezing until $-10^{\circ}C$ was 48 s, which was approximately half the value of 85 s obtained without EM heating. For the white radish cubes, the center cooling time was also improved, from 288 to 132 s. The samples frozen by LN spray with EM heating had a closer hardness to the unfrozen samples than the samples frozen by LN only. Conclusions: The EM heating during quick freezing functions to maintain the hardness of fresh food by reducing the freezing time from 0 to $-10^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: This study was conducted for enhancing the performance of a conventional quick freezer by introducing the supercooling state, using a low-temperature coolant. Methods: In the present investigation, the supercooling process was executed prior to quick freezing for reducing the time by which the temperature passes the zone of maximum ice crystal formation. Every food has different nucleation points and hence, we used silicone oil as the coolant for supercooling for easy modification of temperature. Additionally, for quick freezing, we used liquid nitrogen spray. Results: Using the heat exchanger-type precooler with silicone oil, the temperature of the chamber was easily changed for enabling supercooling. Particularly, the results of the freezing test with garlic indicated that this system improved the hardness of garlic after it was thawed, compared to the conventional freezing method. Conclusions: Before quick freezing, if the food item is subjected to the supercooling state, the time from nucleation to the temperature reaching the frozen state ($-5^{\circ}C$, which is the maximum ice crystal formation zone) will be shorter than that incurred using quick freezing alone. The combination of the heat exchanger-type supercooler and liquid nitrogen sprayer is expected to serve as a promising technology for improving the physicochemical qualities of frozen foods.

In order to have compressive strength tests and frost heaving tests, two sorts of soil samples at Chonbuk-Do area were used. According to this research, the compressive strength of soil which was mixed by quick lime, was largely increased until 28 days but after 28 days, the increment of strength was seldom found and its maximum compressive strength increasing rate for content of quick lime was $10{\sim}15%$ scope. In the mixed rates of quick lime and briquette ash, the compressive strength of soil which was mixed by quick lime and briquette ash, was increased by increasing mixed rates of quick lime and its compressive strength was increased by additional quantity. The compressive strength of mixed soil within freezing-thawing 1 cycle was diminished around 30% compared to non-freezing soil's 28 days compressive strength but there were no movements after 2 cycle.

This study investigated the effect of various freezing and thawing techniques on the quality of beef. Meat samples were frozen using natural convection freezing (NF), individual quick freezing (IQF), or cryogenic freezing (CF) techniques, followed by natural convection thawing (NCT) or running water thawing (RT). The meat was frozen until the core temperature reached $-12^{\circ}C$ and then stored at $-24^{\circ}C$, followed by thawing until the temperature reached $5^{\circ}C$. Quality parameters, such as the pH, water binding properties, CIE color, shear force, and microstructure of the beef were elucidated. Although the freezing and thawing combinations did not cause remarkable changes in the quality parameters, rapid freezing, in the order of CF, IQF, and NF, was found to minimize the quality deterioration. In the case of thawing methods, NCT was better than RT and the meat quality was influence on the thawing temperature rather than the thawing rate. Although the microstructure of the frozen beef exhibited an excessive loss of integrity after the freezing and thawing, it did not cause any remarkable change in the beef quality. Taken together, these results demonstrate that CF and NCT form the best combination for beef processing; however, IQF and NCT may have practical applications in the frozen food industry.

최근 전통 식품에 대한 관심이 증가함에 따라서 우리 나라 고유의 술인 막걸리 소비가 국내에서뿐만 아니라 해외 수출량도 급증하고 있다. 그러나 막걸리의 유통 및 저장 안정성을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법으로는 미생물 제어 기술로서 냉장 유통과 가온 살균에 제한되어 표준화된 기술이 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 막걸리 유통기간 연장 방법의 하나로 막걸리를 급속동결(Quick Freezing, QF) 및 완만동결(Slow Freezing, SF)을 하였으며 이에 따른 품질 변화를 실험하였다. 즉, 동결 방법에 따라서 40일간 저장하면서 저장기간 10일 간격으로 시료를 취하여 $10^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 해동시킨 후 이화학 분석 및 미생물 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 모든 시료군에 대해서 환원당은 저장 10일째 급격히 증가한 후 저장기간에 따라 지속적으로 증가하였으나, 그 증가폭은 크지 않았다. 산도 및 색도 경우 저장기간에 따라 유의적 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 미생물의 경우 젖산균 및 효모 모두 저장기간이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 젖산균의 경우 초기 젖산균이 $4.1{\times}10^7$ CFU/mL에서 저장 20일째 QF는 $3.6{\times}10^6$ CFU/mL, SF는 $1.8{\times}10^4$ CFU/mL로 나타나 QF 경우보다 SF경우 저장 중 젖산균에 대한 변화가 크게 나타났다. 효모의 경우에서도 동일한 변화를 나타내었다 이러한 결과 냉동 방법과 기간에 따라 막걸리 내 미생물의 생육을 제어하는 가능성을 알아볼 수 있었다.

Quick freezing of bovine embryos was attempted after they were predehydrated at room temperature. Combined solutions of 2M glycerol or 2M ethylene glycol in the presence of either 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose in phosphated buffered saline+20% calf serum were compared. The quick freezing method in which embryos were directly transferred in liquid nitrogen vapor for 2 minutes at - l70$^{\circ}C$ before being plunged into liquid nitrogen was used. Post-thaw survival rates in 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were high with 0.5 M (55.6% and 53.3%) versus 1.0M(38.1% and 31.6%) sucrose(P < 0.05). But survival rates with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were not significantly different. Transfer thawed embryos frozen with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol by 0.5M sucrose resulted in birthrates of 40.9% and 40.0%, respectively compared to 26.3% and 27.2%, respectively, for 1.0 M sucrose(p<0.05). This was 56.0% for fresh control.

This study was conducted to know the quality of chou made with flour pastes which were stored at different conditions of quick freezing, slow freezing, cold and room temperature. Also, this study included investigation of the chou properties such as expansion, sensory evaluation, degree of gelatinization, and physical and structural properties of paste were observed. There were not significant differences m diameter, height, volume, appearance, hollow formation, and sensory evaluation between the chou made with the paste stored at freezing condition and chou directly baked after pasting. Quick and slow freezing storages did not significantly affect the properties of chou, and the same results were obtained among the chou made with pastes thawed at room temperature and in microwave ovenrange. The chou of pastes stored at room temperature and in microwave ovenrange. The chou of pastes stored at room temperature and stored in refrigerator showed lowed expansion and value of sensory evaluation than those of frozen pastes. The paste stored at room temperature had the lowest hardness and viscosity compared with the other storage conditions. According to the observation of light microscope. the lipid bodies of the paste of freezing storage smaller those of the room temperature and refrigerator storage. The expantion of chou made with paste stored at room temperature was greatly decreased due to the high coalescence of lipid bodies, and also the paste components such as lipid, starch granule gluten at room temperature had inferior dispersion condition. The general tendency of the degree of gelatinization of chou were low in all treatments of paste. The values were 23.5%~46.0% in freezing, 77.3% in room temperature, 68.7% in directly baked after pasting, and 61.0% in cold storage, respectively. The formation and the taste of chou made with frozen paste were similar to those of chou directly baked pasting.
