Résumé : The effect of immersion chilling and freezing (ICF) process parameters (solution -ternperature, concentration and composition, initial food temperature) on heat and mass transfer was studied on apple cylinders dipped into a sodium chloride aqueous solution, with particular emphasis on the unsteady-state period (first hour of treatment). Food behaviour was characterized for various thermal processes; the levels of salt impregnation in chilling and supercooling conditions, at 2 'C and - 10 'C, respectively, were similar (3% i.m. after 1 h of processing) and much higher than in freezing at - 17.8 'C (0.6% initial mass for the same processing time). Further control of solute entrance in freezing conditions could be achieved through food surface treatments, including precoating with cold water before ICF; use of a complex immersion solution containing a high molecular weight of solute; quick freezing of the outer food layer. Above all, the frozen water fraction inside the food was found to be an important factor governing solute entrance in freezing conditions.
