Freezing food preserves it from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten.

Since early times, farmers, fishermen, and trappers have preserved their grains and produce in unheated buildings during the winter season.

Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species.

In the food commodity industry, there are two processes: mechanical and cryogenic (or flash freezing).

The freezing kinetics is important to preserve the food quality and texture.

Quicker freezing generates smaller ice crystals and maintains cellular structure.

Cryogenic freezing is the quickest freezing technology available due to the ultra low liquid nitrogen temperature.

Refrigeration is a process of moving heat from one location to another in controlled conditions.

Heat pumps may use the heat output of the refrigeration process, and also may be designed to be reversible, but are otherwise similar to air conditioning units.
