The determination of cryoscopic temperature is an important parameter in the calculation of low-temperature processing modes of frozen products. The process of rapid freezing is accompanied by temperature changes, therefore, to develop energy-saving and effective methods of preserving and processing fruit and berries, it is necessary to accurately determine some variables that affect the result of freezing. The study aimed to develop a differentiated analysis technique for determining the cryoscopic temperature and the crystallization temperature of the eutectic points of sucrose and glucose solutions. To determine the cryoscopic temperatures in the study, the method of thermal analysis based on the construction of freezing thermograms was used. The study was conducted using berries grown in the Kemerovo region (Russia). As a result of the study, it was found that the cryoscopic temperatures were most influenced by the total (free and bound) moisture content and organic and mineral substances in berry juices. The authors also determined cryoscopic temperatures of different black currant, sea buckthorn, and juneberry varieties. The developed technique will allow for the simulation of freezing processes under various processing conditions.
