freezing technology
This is a new freezing technology that snap-freezes foods and restores them to virtually the same state of 'freshness' when thawed years down the track.
これは凍結させれば良いと言う19世紀から20世紀の食品凍結機械の技術に、医学関係で裏付けされている臓器保存・組織再生技術のCAS機能を取り付ける事により、_眠らせて_（CAS凍結）1〜2年後に_目覚めさせ_（解凍）、生に限りなく近い状態に戻す事ができます。
Can anyone suggest a catchy way to express 眠らせる in this context? I am uncomfortable with "put to sleep" and "lay to rest" for the obvious 'other' connotations these expressions imply.....or am I just being over-sensitive?
TIA for any help.

眠らせる
Selected
put ... into a sleeping state
This phrase keeps the original meaning of 眠らせる and it does not have "the other meaning."

Comment: "Thanks, everyone, and apologies for the delay in grading. In the end, the client was provided with a few different choices, and this was what they decided to go with. I think it is also close to the original meaning without being too OTT. Thanks again."

hibernate/revive, suspend/revive, freeze/unfreeze
This is indeed interesting usage. If you are not comfortable with either of the above, you might want to remove the metaphoric language and simply go with "CAS freeze / unfreeze"
(For instance, Han Solo in Star Wars was frozen (encased in Carbonite) and unfrozen. )

Marc Adler
: Note that this usage of 眠る is not that uncommon - it is used for "aging" (of whiskey, etc.), and similar situations.

right. sort of has context of 'resting' - but not fitting for this food example where basically the food is 'paused' with no change.

Naikei Wong
: I vote for "freeze / unfreeze" (readily understood in bio contexts, anyways)

right. freeze/unfreeze seems to be the best.

Can Altinbay
: With NK. Definitely not hibernate, and suspend doesn't give the right meaning.
