The present invention relates to a method for preserving the freshness of foods, particularly fresh foods such as seafood, and an ice material used therein. In order to prevent food spoilage and loss of freshness during the transportation and storage process, various methods have been used to prevent food from spoiling or losing freshness, such as freezing or refrigerating fruits, vegetables, seafood, etc., using chemical preservatives, and storing containers and storage containers in closed vacuum. method has been implemented. However, there are advantages and disadvantages in terms of the toxicity of chemical preservatives and the cost of cold storage equipment, so it is still not sufficient. Especially when it comes to seafood, the method used is to use a sufficient amount of crushed ice to cool the fish as quickly as possible onboard the fishing boat immediately after catching it. However, if careful attention and prompt action are not taken, the seafood will be warmed up due to the cracking of crushed ice or insufficient low temperature maintenance, and as a result, the growth of bacteria on the fish body will not be sufficiently suppressed, resulting in the loss of fish meat in a short period of time. The freshness decreases and the product value decreases. In some cases, it becomes inedible. The present inventors have conducted various studies to overcome the problems of maintaining the freshness of such foods, especially fresh foods such as seafood, and have developed a composition that combines an iron () compound and L-ascorbic acid. By keeping food cold and refrigerated using ice containing
It was found that the taste (e.g. taste) was retained for a long time. The present invention has been made based on this knowledge. That is, the present invention uses an ice material containing a composition consisting of at least one iron compound selected from ferrous sulfate, ferrous chloride, and ferrous nitrate, and L-ascorbic acid. The present invention provides a method for keeping food fresh, which is characterized by keeping food cold and refrigerated, and an ice material used therein. In the present invention, the iron() compound in the ice material and L-
In a composition containing ascorbic acid, the ratio of L-ascorbic acid to iron in the iron () compound is
The amount is usually 2-30% by weight, preferably 3-10% by weight. If L-ascorbic acid is used in an amount exceeding the upper limit of this range, the composition will be colored purple and become uneconomical, and if L-ascorbic acid is used in an amount less than the lower limit of this range, a sufficient freshness preservation effect will not be obtained. The stabilizing effect of iron () is also insufficient. The content of the composition consisting of iron () compound and L-ascorbic acid in the ice material is 0.01W/V% ~
0.5W/V% is good. The production of this ice material does not require the use of special equipment or production methods, and can be carried out using existing ice making machines. In the present invention, this ice material is used to keep food cold and refrigerated. The mechanism by which this ice material maintains freshness is not yet clear, but the retention temperature is below 3°C, and there is a decrease in microbial activity due to low-temperature storage, but this is no different from regular ice. Next, ascorbic acid/iron () has a bactericidal effect against coliform bacteria (Japanese Patent Application No. 168270-1981). In addition to this condition, ascorbic acid/iron ()
(Divalent iron ion) exists, so oxygen molecules in the air in the coexistence of ice contained in this are activated,
It is presumed that oxygen in an active state acts on the fish body and is effective in preserving freshness or sterilizing it. Particularly, according to the freshness preservation method of the present invention, it is possible to prevent discoloration of fish meat and fishy odor due to a decrease in freshness in fish and shellfish, and to maintain freshness for a long time, thereby increasing the commercial value of the fish and shellfish. Furthermore, as a freshness preservation effect of the present invention, if applied to fish and shellfish immediately after catching,
Surprisingly, it is easy to take fish that would otherwise die due to injury from nets or fishing hooks and bring them back to the port, which has a great effect on preserving freshness. Furthermore, in the present invention, no conventional harmful preservatives are used in the ice material, and only ingredients that are safe for humans and animals are combined. It is particularly advantageous in that it can be safely and easily applied at the stage of distribution from the production market to the consumption market at fresh food stores, sushi restaurants (so-called neta cases), homes, etc. Next, the present invention will be explained in more detail based on examples. Example 1 (A) Production of ice material After dissolving 27.5 g of ferrous sulfate heptahydrate (molecular weight 278.03) in water to make 100 ml, 0.5 g of L-ascorbic acid was added and dissolved to obtain iron L-ascorbate. An aqueous stock solution was prepared. Add this stock solution to water
Dilute it 300 times, and use this diluted solution to make about 1 to 2 sizes.
cm of ice material was produced. (B) Seafood freshness retention test Fill a Styrofoam box (length 50cm x width 30cm x depth 30cm) with the above ice material to a thickness of about 10cm.
A sheet of paper was spread on top of the tray, and various kinds of seafood freshly purchased from the market were placed on top of the tray, and after storage, the tray was covered and stored for 5 days. The temperature inside the box was below 3°C. As a control, seafood was stored in a Styrofoam box for 5 days in the same manner as above using ordinary ice. Fresh seafood purchased from the market was divided into two and subjected to the same conditions for both tests. After 5 days, open the lid and check the freshness of both seafood by 10.
A number of monitors evaluated the fish meat based on appearance, firmness, texture, taste, etc. The results are summarized in the table below.

[Table] Combining the results in the above table, it can be seen that although the storage period is winter, the freshness was extremely reduced in the control test using ordinary ice, but according to the present invention, this can be prevented and It can be seen that the freshness of seafood can be maintained for a long time with no fishy odor and good gloss and texture. Example 2 An ice material was produced in the following manner using ferrous chloride or ferrous nitrate in place of ferrous sulfate in Example 1. Production of ice materials (a) Ferrous chloride (special grade reagent manufactured by Hanui Chemical Co., Ltd.)
FeCl 2・nH 2 O: molecular weight 126.75 as FeCl 2 )
17.8g was dissolved using water to make 100ml. 0.5 g of L-ascorbic acid was added and dissolved, and this was used as a stock solution. (b) Ferrous nitrate (Fe(NO 3 ) 2・6H 2 O molecular weight
287.9) 28.8g was dissolved in water to make 100ml, and 0.5g of L-ascorbic acid was added to make a stock solution. The above stock solution was diluted 300 times with water in the same manner as in Example 1, and ice materials with a size of 1 to 2 cm were produced using the diluted ice solution. Using this ice material, a seafood freshness retention test was conducted in the same manner as in Example 1. The seafood to be tested, the amount to be tested, and the freshness evaluation method were the same as in Example 1. The test results are shown in Table 2 for ice materials using ferrous chloride and in Table 3 for ice materials using ferrous nitrate. The results in Tables 2 and 3 show the same tendency as the results in Example 1, and it can be seen that the ice material of the present invention can maintain the freshness of seafood for a long time.
