Advanced freezing point insights into regulatory role of antifreeze proteins, their fundamentals, and obstacles in food preservation

Freezing, a technique extensively employed within the food industry, is considered to be among the most prevalent preservation methods. Conventional techniques of freezing have the potential to cause certain forms of quality degradation, such as harm to cellular structure, and heightened loss of moi...
