PROCESS FOR PREPARING ICE SUBSTITUTES

摘要

A process of freezing a belt (46) of encapsulated ice substitute is provided. The process for freezing the ice substitute belt generally includes the steps of preparing a capsule belt (46) with a plurality of capsules (48), each capsule containing a thermal controlling agent which is a liquid in a predetermined temperature range; preparing a brine (12) including a cruciferous oil, salts and a glycol and cooling the brine; feeding the belt into an apparatus (11) which contains the cooled brine and passing the belt through the brine, adjusting the speed to the extent sufficient for the thermal controlling agent to become solidified. The travelling speed of the ice substitute belt is adjusted depending on the composition of the thermal controlling agent.
