FROZEN FOOD BY IQF TECHNOLOGY
[EIRI/EDPR/1121] J.C. 9768
INTRODUCTION
Individual Quick Freezing (I.Q.F.) is the latest technology available in freezing and with the advent of the same, it is now possible to preserve and store raw fruit and vegetables in the same farm-fresh condition for more than a year, with the color, flavor and texture of produce remaining as good as fresh from the farm.In IQF, each piece is frozen individually using technique of fluidization resulting in freezing of fruit and vegetables only in 10 to 12 minutes which otherwise takes at least 3 to 4 hours or even more in the blast freezer. The important feature of this process is ultra-rapid freezing to very low temperatures (-30°C to - 40°C) designed to halt the activities of the microorganisms that cause decay and deteriorate foodstuffs. This results into better texture and there is no lump/ block formation and the product is free flowing. One does not have to thaw or defrost the whole packet to take out only a portion, and the rest will remain frozen till required again.
Individual Quick Freezing (I.Q.F.) is the latest technology available in freezing and with the advent of the same, it is now possible to preserve and store raw fruit and vegetables in the same farm-fresh condition for more than a year, with the color, flavor and texture of produce remaining as good as fresh from the farm.
Individual Quick freezing (IQF) technology used will be latest and indigenous. It is a freezing method of choice for seasonal products such as fruits and vegetables and over the years it has further developed to cover a broader range of other product such as diced meat, shrimps, pasta and rice etc. IQF is a technology originally developed by Frigoscandia Equipment as a specific solution to block or cluster-freezing of small-sized products, to preserve quality and to give unparalleled convenience to end-users. Quick Freezing is the only process whereby, virtually all the properties of most of the parent food stuffs can preserved.
In IQF, each piece is frozen individually using technique of fluidization resulting in freezing of fruit and vegetables only in 10 to 12 minutes which otherwise takes at least 3 to 4 hours or even more in the blast freezer. This results into better texture and there is no lump/ block formation and the product is free flowing. One does not have to thaw or defrost the whole packet to take out only a portion, and the rest will remain frozen till required again.
