Abstract: Steady temperature field and unsteady temperature field with periodic temperature variations were simulated respectively in the frozen storage fields. The experiments of the dehydrating process of half-thawed and non-thawed quick frozen white asparagus were carried out respectively in different temperature fields. Theoretical analysis and experimental results showed that the existence of the temperature field is the ultimate cause of the water uneveness in the local mini-fields and also the cause of harmful dehydration of the quick frozen white asparagus.

Key words: dehydration, weight loss, temperature field, white asparagus, frozen storage
