"Individually Quick Frozen"
IQF using liquid nitrogen enables small foods like raspberries
or prawns - normally difficult to freeze satisfactorily -
to be frozen singly, thus keeping their individual form, texture
and taste. Cryogenic freezing also allows liquids to be frozen
into pellets and coatings to be applied to individual food
items.
100% IQF products are produced in one of two ways: either
by immersion in liquid nitrogen at -196°C to freeze the outer
surface of the product instantaneously or by constant motion
during the freezing process. Both technologies prevent product
stickage and produce a 100% IQF freezing throughput, even
when the food is sauce coated or has a high water content.
