PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a freeze storing method for sarcocarp during and after freezing sarcocarp without causing browning of sarcocarp in mild freezing in a normal freezing chamber without using an expensive rapid freezer, and hard to cause browning in thawing or after thawing.SOLUTION: The freeze storing method for sarcocarp includes a precooling step previously cooling a fruit, a step extracting a sarcocarp from the precooled fruit, a step soaking the extracted sarcocarp in liquid sugar and/or sealing the extracted sarcocarp in a closed container in a state filled with an inert gas, and a freeze storing step freezing the sarcocarp in the closed container, and the method has no browning during the mild freezing in a normal freezing chamber impossible of rapid freezing, and in natural thawing at low temperatures.【課題】高価な急速冷凍機などを使わずに通常の冷凍庫の緩慢な冷凍でも、果肉の褐変を起こさせずに冷凍し、かつ解凍中や解凍したあとも褐変しにくい果肉の冷凍保存方法を提供する。【解決手段】果実を予め低温に冷却する予冷却工程と、予冷却した果実から果肉を取り出す工程と、取り出した果肉を液糖に浸漬して及び／又は取り出した果肉を不活性ガスの充填した状態で密閉容器に封入する封入工程と、この密閉容器に封入した果肉を凍結させる冷凍保存工程とからなり、急速な冷凍ができない通常の冷凍機で行なう緩慢な冷凍中及び低温での自然解凍中に果肉が褐変することがない。【選択図】図１
