Abstrakt: Freezing is a crucial step in the process of frozen foods. In this study, the effects of different freezing methods, including liquid nitrogen immersion freezing (LF), quick-freezing machine freezing (QF), packaging immersion freezing (PF), and ultralow temperature refrigerator freezing (UF), and freezing time (0, 15, 30, and 60 days) on the textural properties, dynamic rheological properties, water distribution, and structure of dough and the quality of end steamed bread were evaluated. Freezing resulted in a decline in the physicochemical properties of dough. UF- and QF-doughs had higher storage modulus and loss modulus, compared with PF- and LF-doughs. LF enhanced the textural attributes of the dough, resulting in reduced hardness and increased springiness. At 15 days of freezing, QF- and LF-doughs exhibited a compact and continuous structure with a smooth surface. Additionally, the correlation analysis elucidated that the weight loss rate and the bound water content of the dough had discernible impacts on the texture of both the dough and the resulting steamed bread. Overall, LF demonstrated a relatively high freezing efficiency and effectively maintained the quality of the dough for up to 15 days of freezing. These results offer valuable insights for the applications of freezing methods and time in frozen foods.
