Abstract
A method of determining whether a brine composition for freezing an item is in a desired balance, the brine composition having an effective amount of dye. The method includes cooling the dye composition to a pre-determined temperature, and comparing the color of the brine composition to a pre-established correlation of color and brine composition at the pre-determined temperature, thereby determining whether the brine composition is in the desired balance.
Claims16
A method of determining whether a brine composition for freezing an item is of a desired balance, the brine composition having an effective amount of water soluble dye, the method comprising:
- cooling the brine composition to a pre-determined temperature so that ice crystals are formed in the brine composition;
- and
- comparing the color of the brine composition to a pre-established correlation of color and brine composition at the pre-determined temperature, thereby determining whether the brine composition is in the desired balance.
