Abstract

Ice slurry is attracting attention to solve the problems of uneven cooling and difficulty in mass transportation of crushed ice. When the ice slurry is transported through the pipe, there is a concern that the ice may adhere to the pipe, causing blockage. The results of previous studies revealed that surfactants suppressed adhesion, so surfactants were used to suppress adhesion. In addition, catechin is added to the ice slurry to provide a sterilizing effect from the viewpoint of the transportation of fresh foods. In this study, catechin and surfactant are mixed in pure water to measure ice adhesion force and adsorption. The measurements also reveal the ice adhesion force at each concentration.
