Aside from the obvious benefit to human life that the article is focusing on, I'm curious how the food preservation can help as well. Does anyone know if this technology is already working to freeze food for commercial use?
- raverbashing 10y agoSince food does not need to be reanimated, I suppose the benefits will be minimum (Though the Sushimen in places were freezing is mandated might like it - even though this type might not work since the objective of freezing is killing parasites in fish)
- MichaelApproved 10y agoFood that's frozen slowly will grow long ice crystals that act like razors slicing up the cell walls of food. That's why defrosting frozen food often gets you a soggy limp dish. Food that's "flash frozen" will not develop long crystals that damage food as much and will taste much better after being defrosted.
- mrfusion 10y agoHere's an article I found. http://www.forbes.com/global/2008/0602/053.html http://www.forbes.com/global/2008/0602/053.html It sounds very promising for food. I wonder why no one has come out with a consumer product. Anyone want to set up a kickstarter?
