The current household refrigerators come with quick freeze
capabilities to simulate industrial and commercial freezing processes.
Anderson et al. (2004) studied five models of domestic
refrigerators and observed that models equipped with the quick
freeze capability decreased the temperature more rapidly, as well
as, lower temperatures were reached than other refrigerators without
this function.
To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies presented in
the literature that investigated the freezing process and measured
the freezing point of fish burgers. Therefore, the main goal of this
work was to fill out this lack. The freezing parameters and freezing
point obtained in two types of domestic refrigerators with distinct
freezing rates were determined and the results were compared to
the ones obtained by DSC method.
