Abstract

Freeze structuring is a simple and scalable process that allows precise control over pore morphology by manipulating ice crystal formation in aqueous suspensions. By adjusting material and process parameters, freeze structuring of colloidal suspensions can yield various structural outcomes. Food systems are inherently complex mixtures of polysaccharides, proteins, and fats, and unlike well-studied single-component systems, the interactions within these multi-component mixtures during freeze structuring remain largely unexplored. This knowledge gap hinders the immediate application of freeze structuring in the food industry, limiting its broader adoption for structuring complex food systems. This review identifies the suspension characteristics that dictate structural outcomes in food systems, aiming to advance freeze structuring as a viable tool for sustainable food manufacturing.

解决食品胶体冷冻结构中的多因素复杂性

冻结结构是一种简单且可扩展的过程，可以通过操纵水悬浮液中的冰晶形成来精确控制孔隙形态。通过调整材料和工艺参数，胶体悬浮液的冷冻结构可以产生不同的结构结果。食品系统本质上是多糖、蛋白质和脂肪的复杂混合物，与已得到充分研究的单组分系统不同，这些多组分混合物在冷冻构造过程中的相互作用在很大程度上仍未被探索。这种知识差距阻碍了冷冻结构在食品工业中的直接应用，限制了其在复杂食品系统结构中的广泛采用。本综述确定了决定食品系统结构结果的悬浮液特性，旨在推进冷冻结构作为可持续食品制造的可行工具。

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications. Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments. Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
