Description
Rapid cryogenic cooling with liquid nitrogen induces phase separation in food systems.
Technical
The process involves rapid freezing of water and fat components, leading to ice and fat crystal formation. Protein denaturation occurs, forming a gel-like network that traps water and fat droplets, altering texture and functional properties.
