The research about the high pressure technology to preserve foodstuff has been studied for a longer time, but there were few of papers about the research of the combination effects of high-pressure-freezing&thawing process on food qualities. To examine the combination effects of high-pressure-freezing&thawing process on food qualities, potato was chosen as model object. The experiments were conducted with pressure-shift-freezing processes at 0.1, 100~200MPa, and pressure-assisted-thawing processes at 0.1, 200MPa. Texture analysis was as the key index to evaluate the combination effects of high-pressure-freezing&thawing process on food qualities by Texture Analyzer. At the same time the frozen samples treated by pressure-shift-freezing process were histologically analyzed using the isothermal freezing substitution technique to contrast the pressure effects on the size and shape of ice crystal. The sizes and locations of ice crystals in samples as a result of pressure-shift-freezing were compared to those obtained by atmospheric freezing. The results showed that the combination of pressure-shift-freezing and pressure-assisted-thawing process made less change on the cell wall.

High-pressure freezing processes are a novel emerging technology in food processing, offering significant improvements to the quality of frozen foods. To be able to simulate plateau times and thermal history under different conditions, in this work, we present a generalized enthalpy model of the high-pressure shift freezing process. The model includes the effects of pressure on conservation of enthalpy and incorporates the freezing point depression of non-dilute food samples. In addition, the significant heat-transfer effects of convection in the pressurizing medium are accounted for by solving the two-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations. We run the model for several numerical tests where the food sample is agar gel, and find good agreement with experimental data from the literature.
