Freezing Methods

What is slow freezing?

• Slow freezing is a method of cryopreservation where cells are gradually cooled at a controlled rate to minimize damage and preserve cell viability.

• Slow freezing is a technique used in photography to capture motion blur in a still image.

• Slow freezing is a method of cooking food at a low temperature for an extended period of time.

• Slow freezing is a term used in computer programming to describe a system that is running at a reduced speed.

Answer explanation

What is fast freezing?

• Fast freezing is a method of freezing food quickly at very low temperatures to preserve its quality and freshness.

• Fast freezing is a method of thawing food quickly at very low temperatures to preserve its quality and freshness.

• Fast freezing is a method of heating food quickly at very high temperatures to preserve its quality and freshness.

• Fast freezing is a method of drying food quickly at very low temperatures to preserve its quality and freshness.

What is the difference between direct and indirect freezing?

• Direct freezing is used for fruits and vegetables while indirect freezing is used for meat and fish

• Direct freezing uses heat while indirect freezing uses cold

• The difference between direct and indirect freezing is the method used to freeze the food.

• Direct freezing involves submerging the food in water while indirect freezing involves exposing the food to air

How does tunnel freezing work?

• Tunnel freezing works by using hot air to slowly thaw the product as it passes through a warming tunnel on a conveyor belt.

• Tunnel freezing works by using liquid nitrogen to heat the product as it passes through a heating tunnel on a conveyor belt.

• Tunnel freezing works by using a vacuum to remove all the cold air from the product as it passes through a de-freezing tunnel on a conveyor belt.

• Tunnel freezing works by using cold air or liquid nitrogen to rapidly freeze the product as it passes through a freezing tunnel on a conveyor belt.

What is air blast freezing?

• Air blast freezing is a method of dehydrating food by blowing hot air over the product at high velocities.

• Air blast freezing is a method of quickly freezing food by blowing cold air over the product at high velocities.

• Air blast freezing is a method of slowly thawing food by blowing warm air over the product at low velocities.

• Air blast freezing is a method of fermenting food by blowing carbon dioxide over the product at high velocities.

How does still air freezing differ from other methods?

• Still air freezing involves adding heat to the air, while other methods do not

• Still air freezing does not involve any air circulation, while other methods may use rapid freezing techniques.

• Still air freezing requires constant air circulation, while other methods do not

• Still air freezing uses a vacuum to freeze the air, while other methods do not

Which freezing method is most commonly used in food industry?

• Blast freezing method

• Chemical freezing method

• Slow freezing method

• Microwave freezing method

What are the advantages of air blast freezing?

• Faster freezing and better preservation of food quality.

• Higher cost and energy consumption.

• Increased risk of food contamination.

• Slower freezing and lower preservation of food quality.

What are the disadvantages of slow freezing?

• Formation of ice crystals and potential damage to cell viability.

• Decreased energy consumption

• Enhanced cell viability

• Reduced formation of ice crystals

How does direct freezing ensure faster freezing compared to indirect freezing?

• Direct freezing ensures faster freezing by increasing the distance between the food and the freezing surface

• Direct freezing ensures faster freezing by allowing the food to be insulated from the freezing surface

• Direct freezing ensures faster freezing by using warmer temperatures for freezing

• Direct freezing ensures faster freezing by allowing direct contact between the food and the freezing surface, leading to faster heat transfer.
