Abstract
Background
Freezing, as a common method of food preservation, has been widely used in the food industry. However, with further research, the drawbacks it brings (such as ice crystal puncturing cells and osmotic pressure) have also become well-known at the same time environmental problems are becoming more and more obvious. Therefore, there is a need to seek green cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) for freezing. Green natural deep eutectic agents (GNDEAs) were first applied to biocryopreservation in 2018.
Scope and approach
This review aims to comprehensively understand the principles and prospects of GNDEAs as green CPAs by summarising the origin, development, synthesis methods, physicochemical properties related to cryoprotection, potential cryoprotection mechanisms, applications in the field of cryoprotection, current challenges and prospects for future development.
Key findings and conclusions
GNDEAs have been proved to achieve freezing protection by regulating the freezing point and inhibiting the recrystallization of ice crystals. Compared to traditional CPAs, GNDEAs systems are natural, green CPAs that are non-toxic, environmentally friendly and have good biocompatibility, which are potential CPAs in the food industry.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Food Science & Technology is a prestigious international journal that specializes in peer-reviewed articles covering the latest advancements in technology, food science, and human nutrition. It serves as a bridge between specialized primary journals and general trade magazines, providing readable and scientifically rigorous reviews and commentaries on current research developments and their potential applications in the food industry.
Unlike traditional journals, Trends in Food Science & Technology does not publish original research papers. Instead, it focuses on critical and comprehensive reviews to offer valuable insights for professionals in the field. By bringing together cutting-edge research and industry applications, this journal plays a vital role in disseminating knowledge and facilitating advancements in the food science and technology sector.
