The document discusses the principles of cryopreservation. Cryogenic freezing requires extremely low temperatures and uses liquefied gases like liquid nitrogen or helium to achieve these temperatures. Gases are liquefied through a process of immersing them in containers of other already liquefied gases to lower their temperature until becoming a liquid. These liquid gases can then be used to flash freeze foods and other substances for long-term preservation at very cold temperatures in specialized containers.

Cryogenic freezing is a type of freezing that requires extremely low temperatures
The food industry uses cryogenic freezing to flash freeze fresh foods so that their nutrients and texture will be largely preserved. The main consideration for cryopreservation if the rate at which the temperature of the food is reduced whether it is meat, vegetables of baked products. Substance is normally cooled by placing it next to something colder. But, to make the substances super cold, heat must also be removed and the substance must be insulated. Thus, this can be done by liquefying gases and using these gases to cool other substances. Liquefied gas such as liquid nitrogen and liquid helium are usually used to achieve cryogenic freezing. One technique is by converting to liquid form a gas that can be liquefied by pressure. After that, a gas that required a lower temperature to become a liquid is placed in a container and immersed in the first. The gas that already liquefied will cools the second gas and converts it to a liquid. After several repetitions of this process, the targeted gas is liquefied. These gaseous liquids are held in special containers known as Dewar flasks that about 6feet tall and three feet diameter or giant tanks in large commercial operations. As the temperatures drop, the rest of the gas will convert to super cold liquid at that temperature. Once the gas is in liquid form, it can be used for cryogenic freezing. Once frozen at such low temperatures, objects can remain frozen with the use of special refrigeration units, including mobile units with liquefied gases which permit cryogenically frozen objects to be shipped.
