Abstract: A new research field about ice nucleation active (INA) bacteria and INA protein which is applied to many fields including food engineering has been studied in the world,since INA bacteria was detected by L.R.Maki in 1974. Studies of the safe application of INA bacteria is attached more and more importance to for the special demand of bacterium of food industry. A lot of techniques emerged gradually, such as high pressure sterilization, purification of INA protein, immobilization, INA protein power, radialization and transgene. This review reports the progress on the technology of the safe application of INA bacteria.

Key words: Ice nucleation active bacteria , Immobilization , INA protein power , Safe application
