How does IQF work in food?

Packaging, as an indispensable key link in the food manufacturing process, is of great importance. It is not only the guardian of product quality, but also the key to food preservation and flavor locking, effectively isolating the invasion of external microorganisms and bacteria. For frozen foods, it is even more important to choose suitable packaging materials. It must have multiple characteristics such as low-temperature resistance, anti-dehydration, and anti-oxidation to ensure the perfect state of food in the frozen state.

IQF: The Secret of Individual Quick Freezing

IQF, or individual quick freezing, is a revolutionary food freezing technology. It subverts the traditional freezing method. Through precise control, it realizes the individual quick freezing of food ingredients, avoids the formation of large ice crystals, and thus protects the integrity of food cells. Imagine that each blueberry can be frozen independently and evenly under the magic of IQF, maintaining its original freshness and taste. This is the charm of IQF technology.

IQF technology is widely used in various frozen foods, from fresh fruits and vegetables to seafood and poultry, demonstrating its excellent effect. IQF plays a vital role in every link of the food supply chain. It effectively slows down food quality degradation from picking to consumption, ensuring the freshness and safety of food. For perishable foods, IQF is an indispensable preservation tool.

IQF freezer: the perfect combination of speed and technology

Diving into the working principle of the IQF freezer, it is not difficult to find that its essence lies in the close combination of “speed” and “technology”. In the critical temperature range of 30º to 25ºF (-1º to -4ºC), the IQF freezer completes the freezing process at ultra-high speed, greatly shortening the time that food stays at this temperature, thereby inhibiting the formation of large ice crystals. These tiny ice crystals not only protect the tissue structure of the food but also retain its original flavor and nutrition, making every bite full of surprises.
