We supercooled fresh-cut onion at −5°C for 12 h. After supercooling, the electric impedance properties of the samples were evaluated by electrical impedance spectroscopy over the frequency range of 42 Hz − 5 MHz. The time-temperature profiles of samples indicated that the freezing point and supercooling point were −2.3°C ± 0.7°C and −6.9°C ± 1.0°C, respectively. The results indicated that 34 of the 36 supercooled samples exhibited a definite circular arc in the Cole-Cole plot, which suggested that the cell membrane remained intact during supercooling. In the other two samples which did not exhibit a definite circular arc, the cell membrane had sustained serious damage during supercooling. Furthermore, there was large difference in drip loss percentage between supercooled samples exhibited a definite circular arc in the Cole-Cole plot and samples not exhibiting a definite circular arc. Our results suggest that fresh-cut onions can be supercooled at −5°C.
