"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.
