Distribution coefficients at the interface for carrot juice at slow freezing rates
A phase distribution coefficient for the concentration of liquid foods at the solid-liquid interface is defined and estimated for freezing of carrot juice in a cylindrical container 9 cm in diameter At four freezing temperatures, in the range -6.5 to -14.2 degrees C, the distribution coefficient was found to be practically independent of the freezing temperature and is about 0.38.
