Abstract:

Pre-cooling treatment is necessary for cold chain distribution of fresh food. Efficient pre-cooling treatment can effectively slow down food spoilage. As a new type of green cold medium, fluid ice has the advantages of high cooling rate, high energy storage density, convenient transportation, and can maintain the properties of fresh food without causing mechanical damage. In this study, the basic properties and preparation methods of fluid ice were summarized, and the effects of fluid ice on storage quality of fresh food were discussed from four aspects: microorganism, protein, K value and shelf life. The application of fluid ice coupled with ozone, acidic electrolyzed water, natural oxidants, and other technologies in food preservation was reviewed, and the prospects of fluid ice pretreatment technology were also prospected.

Key words: fluid ice, pre-cooling, fresh food, preservation, quality
