Any freezing will cause a cell to burst and die.
Vinegar will not affect the freezing point of vinegar.
Yes, probiotics can die when frozen. Freezing can affect the viability and effectiveness of probiotics by damaging their cell membranes and reducing their ability to survive in the digestive system. This can result in a decrease in the health benefits they provide.
Drying or freezing most likely. Depending on if the area has freezing temperatures or not.
Yes, freezing is a physical method of separation that relies on the differences in freezing points of substances to separate them. When a mixture is frozen, components with different freezing points will solidify at different temperatures, allowing them to be separated based on their physical state.
No
Equilibration is an important step in cryopreservation as it allows the cells or tissues to adjust to the cryoprotectant solution before freezing. This process helps to minimize osmotic stress and damage to the cells during freezing and thawing. Proper equilibration can improve cell survival rates and maintain cell functionality after cryopreservation.

Higher the concentration of the solute, lower is the freezing point.
Freezing can inhibit the growth and reproduction of mold by slowing down its metabolic processes. However, it does not necessarily kill mold spores completely, as they can remain dormant and become active again once the conditions are more favorable. In general, freezing is not a reliable method for eliminating mold.
Salt lowers the freezing point of water, which can lead to a slower freezing process, producing smaller ice crystals that may be less damaging to the fruit's cell structure. This can help preserve the texture and flavor of the fruit when frozen. However, excessive salt can also negatively impact the taste of the fruit.
There is no single best way to keep pipes from freezing. Insulating (wrapping) pipes is a common method. Leaving the cold water faucet open just enough for a slow drip is another method to prevent freezing.
