Frozen storage is a useful alternative for the long-term preser-
vation of fruits (Guseinova & Daudova, 2008; Li & Sun, 2002b;
Martinez, 1995) and acts by slowing down microbial growth
(Archer, 2004; Niemira, Sommers,
& Boyd, 2003) and enzymatic
damage (Duden & Hubner, 1981). There have been few studies on
frozen stored litchi fruits, and rapid browning remains a major
problem (Jiang et al., 2004). Due to the slow freezing rates using air
as a coolant in traditional air-blast freezing (AF) systems, severe
