Recrystallization rates of ice in fructose solutions were determined over a range of temperatures and ice phase volumes. Accretive and migratory recrystallization both occur, the dominant mechanism being strongly dependent on the mean size of the crystals. Accretion dominated when crystals were small and close together. Recrystallization rates decreased with decreasing ice phase volume and decreasing temperature. The temperature dependence of the rates was consistent with Williams‐Landell‐Ferry kinetics. With a mean field correction for ice phase volume the observed data fit the recrystallization theory of Lifshitz, Slyozov and Wagner reasonably well.
