Commercialization of Antifreeze Proteins from Winter
Cereals
Winter cereals survive subzero temperatures in the field by
controlling the way that ice grows within their tissues. These
plants produce antifreeze proteins that bind to the surfaces of ice
crystals and prevent them from growing uncontrollably. In the
presence of antifreeze proteins, the ice crystals remain small and
do not create physical damage to the tissues. These antifreeze
proteins are very effective in modifying ice crystal growth at
exceeding low concentrations.
