<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop various applications utilizing antifreeze effects of antifreeze proteins without using the antifreeze proteins. <P>SOLUTION: The invention relates to the ice crystal growth suppressing agent based on the discovery of polymers having antifreeze effects excluding antifreeze proteins (for example an ammonium polyacrylate), wherein the substance which is precipitates in an aqueous solution with 10 mg/mL of concentration into non-flat disk-shaped ice crystals and the solution exhibits thermal hysteresis of ≥0.020°C, and the polymers can be used for various applications as a substitute for the antifreeze proteins (AFP). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
