Will the weight of durian meat increase after freezing

Durian meat usually does not significantly increase in weight after freezing. During the freezing process, the freezing of water may cause volume expansion, but the total mass remains basically unchanged. The main components of durian meat are water, carbohydrates, and a small amount of fat. During freezing, the water inside the cells forms ice crystals, which have a slightly lower density than liquid water and may cause slight expansion of the flesh volume, but the overall quality is not affected. The temperature in the freezer compartment of a household refrigerator is generally around minus 18 degrees Celsius. In this environment, the process of water crystallization is slow, and the ice crystal structure is relatively uniform, without significantly changing the physical form of the fruit pulp. When freezing durian meat, it is recommended to package it in a sealed bag to avoid repeated thawing and affecting the taste. In rare cases, if a large amount of moisture adheres to the surface of durian meat before freezing or the packaging is not tight, it may cause an increase in weight displayed during weighing due to frost adhesion. This phenomenon belongs to the superposition of external moisture, not a change in the quality of the fruit pulp itself. Commercial frozen durians often use quick freezing technology, which can better maintain the integrity of cell structure, reduce water loss, and the actual weight change can be ignored. When consuming frozen durian in daily life, a small amount of juice may seep out after thawing, which is the liquid released by the rupture of the cell wall after the melting of ice crystals and is a normal phenomenon. It is recommended to slowly thaw frozen durian in the refrigerator to preserve its flavor and nutrients to the maximum extent possible. Durian is rich in potassium and dietary fiber, and frozen storage can extend its shelf life, but it should not exceed two months to avoid affecting its quality.
