Due to its ultra-quick freezing LN2 is capable of producing small ice crystals in sizes that help retain quality and reduce a substantial amount of drip loss. LN2 has also gained popularity for the transportation of frozen foods.
Apart from the intermittent spraying of LN2, dump charging method has been also developed wherein the refrigerant required for a point to point transportation is supplied to a frozen cargo before the commencement of the journey eliminating the requirement of LN2 vessel to be taken on board.
