See this NSF website for some good information (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1996/nstc96rp/sb3.htm). This report is from 1996, so they have likely more recent research you can look up for how fish antifreeze proteins are being used. If you do a quick google search on fish antifreeze proteins or uses for fish antifreeze proteins you should find some later stuff. Also, check out this PDF on the use of fish antifreeze proteins in ice cream (http://www.themilkweed.com/Feature_06_Dec_1.pdf)! And wikipedia also has a whole page on this topic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifreeze_protein). There is a lot of stuff out there. -Cassandra Dear Vaibhav,
