Description
Cryogenic freezing preserves ingredients by cooling them to extremely low temperatures, slowing down chemical reactions and microbial growth.
Technical
Cryogenic freezing involves rapid cooling to around -196°C, followed by storage in a cryogenic freezer, to prevent microorganism growth and cellular breakdown. However, it can also cause ice crystal formation, leading to ingredient degradation.
