Using Liquid Nitrogen to Unlock Innovation in the
Food Industry

• Nitrogen makes up about 78 of Earths atmosphere
  (78.03 by volume, 75.5 by weight). It is
• an inert gas that is colorless, odorless,
  non-corrosive, nonflammable, and will not support
  
• combustion. Although nitrogen gas itself is
  nonlife-supporting, it plays a key role in
  important
• biological compounds like amino acids. . Although
  nitrogen gas itself is nonlife-supporting, it
  plays a
• key role in important biological compounds like
  amino acids. When nitrogen is cooled to extremely
  
• low temperatures below -320F (-196C), it
  condenses into a cryogenic liquid known as liquid
  
• nitrogen. In its liquid state, nitrogen becomes
  an incredibly versatile compound. Liquid nitrogen
  is
• inert, stable, and extremely cold. Its unique
  properties make it ideal for a wide range of
  applications,
• from flash freezing foods to serving as a coolant
  for superconducting magnets. By leveraging the
• many benefits of liquid nitrogen, innovations
  across science, medicine, and industry are
  enabled.

• Liquid nitrogen is a highly useful compound
  across many fields, but proper handling and
  storage
• practices are critical for using it safely.
  Because liquid nitrogen rapidly expands into
  large volumes of
• nitrogen gas when exposed to room temperature, it
  must be stored and transported in extremely well-
• insulated vacuum flasks to control pressure
  buildup. Workspaces using liquid nitrogen should
  have
• adequate ventilation to prevent oxygen depletion.
  With proper cryogenic equipment like gloves,
• goggles, and appropriate containers, liquid
  nitrogen can be handled securely. However,
  the hazards
• associated with liquid nitrogen stem from its
  ultra-cold temperatures. Exposure to liquid or
  vaporized
• nitrogen can cause severe frostbite and burns.
  Rapid expansion of liquid nitrogen into gas can
  also
• lead to explosions if pressure builds in
  inadequately vented equipment. But if proper
  safety protocols
• are followed, liquid nitrogens risks can be
  effectively managed for its safe and productive
  use.

• Liquid nitrogen is often used in the food
  industry for various applications due to its
  extremely low
• temperature (around -196 degrees Celsius or -321
  degrees Fahrenheit) and its ability to rapidly
• freeze or chill products. Here are some common
  uses of liquid nitrogen in the food industry
• Cryogenic Freezing
• Liquid nitrogen is used for flash-freezing food
  items to lock in freshness and preserve the
  texture and flavor.
• This process is commonly used for fruits,
  vegetables, seafood, and even some prepared
  meals.
• Ice Cream Production
• Liquid nitrogen is employed in the production of
  nitrogen ice cream, a form of ice cream that is
  rapidly
• frozen using liquid nitrogen. This method results
  in smaller ice crystals, giving the ice cream a
  smoother
• Texture.

• Molecular Gastronomy
• Some chefs use liquid nitrogen in molecular
  gastronomy to create unique textures and
• presentations. It can be used to make frozen
  foams, and powders, or to create smoking
  effects.
• Cocktail Preparation
• Liquid nitrogen is used to create dramatic
  effects in cocktails by instantly freezing
  ingredients or creating a
• foggy appearance. This is often used in high-end
  or experimental bars.
• Food Processing
• Liquid nitrogen can be used in food processing
  for cutting and grinding delicate or
  heat-sensitive ingredients
• without compromising their quality.

6

• Transport and Storage
• Liquid nitrogen is used for cryogenic storage of
  certain food products, especially biological
• materials, as it can maintain extremely low
  temperatures.
• Fruit and Vegetable Processing
• Liquid nitrogen is used in the peeling and
  blanching of fruits and vegetables, as it can
  quickly
• freeze the outer layers, making peeling easier.
• Bakery and Pastry
• Some pastry chefs use liquid nitrogen for
  specific applications, such as freezing layers of
  a dessert
• quickly or creating unique frozen elements.

• Its important to note that while liquid nitrogen
  offers many advantages in the food industry,
  there
• are safety considerations. Liquid nitrogen can
  cause severe frostbite if it comes into direct
  contact
• with skin, and precautions must be taken to
  ensure proper handling and liquid nitrogen
  storage.
• Additionally, any food treated with liquid
  nitrogen should be thoroughly inspected to ensure
  that there
• is no residue of the substance left in the final
  product.
