Linear relation between T-H (homogeneous ice nucleation temperature) and T-m (melting temperature) for aqueous solutions of sucrose, trehalose, and maltose

Kanno H, Soga M, Kajiwara K

Homogeneous ice nucleation temperatures (T(H)s) of aqueous sucrose, trehalose, and maltose solutions were measured together with melting temperatures (T(m)s). It is shown that there is a linear relation between T-H and T-m for these solutions. Almost identical supercooling behavior is observed for these aqueous disaccharide solutions.
