Figures 12, 13 and 14 in Exel file format

Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14 show selected imaginary and real part capacitance spectra (graphs a and b, respectively) recorded over the freezing period for the TVIS vial containing 5% sucrose , 5% sucrose and 0.26% NaCl, and 5% sucrose and 0.55% NaCl. The right side shows the derived parameters of the log of the peak frequency (graph c) and the peak amplitude (graph d) for the principle relaxation peak observed in the imaginary capacitance spectra, i.e.,

• Maxwell-Wagner process (MW) for the 5% sucrose solution (low conductivity).
• Interfacial capacitance (IC) for the 5% sucrose solutions with 0.26% and 0.55% solutions (high conductivity).
• Dielectric relaxation of ice for the frozen state of all three solutions.

The right side of Figure 12, Figure 13, and Figure 14 also show the derived parameters of the real capacitance at low and high frequency, given the symbols(10 Hz) and(0.2 MHz), respectively (graphs e and f, respectively). Overlayed on these profiles are the arrows pointing from left to right which have been drawn to indicate/highlight the differences in the temperature dependencies of the real part capacitance in the limits of low and high frequency.
The period marked TP is the transition period in which either of the two conditions apply: (i) the peaks of any of the processes are no longer visible within the experimental frequency region of the TVIS instrument, or (ii) the peak observed is a hybrid of multiple processes, for example a peak that comprises contributions from the MW relaxation and from the dielectric relaxation of ice.

The other Excel files give a comprehensive set of data, for all three samples, 5% w/v sucrose (with 0% w/vNaCl), 5% w/v sucrose (with 0.26% w/v NaCl), and 5% w/v sucrose (with 0.55% w/v NaCl), to support figures 12, 13, and 14
