This study investigated the quality characteristics of 5 different types of food (beef tenderloin, Japanese Spanish mackerel, radish, blueberry and tofu) by applying liquid immersion freezing, which is one of the quick-freezing methods. Each sample was refrigerated by -20℃ conventional freezing or -70℃ liquid immersion freezing respectively. After thawing at 4℃, we examined drip loss, color value, hardness, and volatile basic nitrogen. The drip loss of -70℃ freezing condition was significantly reduced compared to -20℃ freezing condition in every sample except Japanese Spanish mackerel. There were less changes in color values of beef tenderloin, Japanese Spanish mackerel, radish in -70℃ condition than conventional freezing. The hardness of beef tenderloin, tofu was decreased and that of radish, blueberry was increased at -70℃ freezing in comparison to -20℃ freezing. By applying -70℃ freezing on beef tenderloin, we also found more decreasing tendency of volatile basic nitrogen compared to -20℃ freezing. In conclusion, the quality of general frozen foods, such as beef tenderloin, Japanese Spanish mackerel and blueberry, could be improved. The possibility of developing frozen tofu is also discovered by the application of liquid immersion freezing. These results could be meaningful as baseline data for researching and development of high-quality frozen foods.
