Keywords:

  • phase separation of ice crystals - freezing and effects on moisture content;
  • freezing of starch-based foods - molecular changes;
  • interactions of water with starch - improving product quality and shelf life;
  • freezing of real food products - reducing ice crystal;
  • differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) - Perkin-Elmer DSC7 instrument;
  • nonfreezable water fraction - difference between total water weight fraction and frozen-water weight fraction;
  • freezing temperatures investigated - limited effect on final starch fraction moisture content
