| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is necessarily to understand the changing behavior of some components such as protein, lipid, or carbohydrate in frozen-concentrated phase of frozen food, in order to improve the quality of frozen-thawed food. In this study, in-situ observation of the frozen-concentrated phase in frozen storage protein gels were performed by synchrotron X-ray Computed Tomography, since Synchrotron-generated high-brightness X-rays have the potential to reflect imperceptible differences in electron density between ice crystals and the other components in a material ,i.e. frozen-concentrated phase.
As a result, it was succeeded to observe the degree of freeze-concentration in frozen food from the frequency distribution of X-ray linear absorption coefficient gained from the CT tomograms. Furthermore, it was identified that the degree of freeze-concentration in frozen egg albumen gels were depending on freezing rate.
