4 important questions on Crystallization and matrix formation - Questions

When freezing a product, if the heat transfer from the air to the product is limiting, increasing the air blow around the product will efficiently decrease the freezing time. T/F

True

If we freeze a product faster, the total amount of ice produced will increase. T/F

False

When cooling a 20% sugar solution slowly to -20 °C, we obtain
  • Sugar crystals in an aqueous sugar solution
  • Water (ice) crystals in an enriched aqueous solution
  • A glass consisting of water and sugar molecules
  • A solid consisting of mixed water-sugar crystals

Water (ice) crystals in an enriched aqueous solution
