Enhancing Food Quality and Safety with Advanced Blast Freezing Technology
s a leading company in the frozen food industry, Piramida is committed to utilizing cutting-edge technologies to ensure the highest quality and safety of our products. One such technology that has revolutionized the preservation of food is blast freezing. This article explores the benefits and impact of blast freezing on food quality and safety, and how Piramida leverages this technology to meet and exceed industry standards.
What is Blast Freezing?
Blast freezing is a method of rapidly freezing food products at extremely low temperatures using high-velocity cold air. This technique significantly reduces the time it takes for food to freeze, which helps in maintaining its nutritional value, texture, and flavor. The process typically involves exposing the food to air at temperatures between -30°C and -40°C, ensuring that the internal temperature of the product drops to -18°C or lower within a short period.
Benefits of Blast Freezing
- Preservation of Nutritional Value: The rapid freezing process locks in vitamins and minerals, preserving the nutritional profile of fruits, vegetables, and other perishable items.
- Enhanced Food Safety: By quickly reducing the temperature, blast freezing minimizes the risk of bacterial growth and contamination, ensuring that the food remains safe for consumption.
- Improved Texture and Flavor: Traditional freezing methods can cause large ice crystals to form, damaging the cell structure of food. Blast freezing prevents this by creating smaller ice crystals, preserving the food's texture and flavor.
- Extended Shelf Life: Foods that undergo blast freezing have a significantly longer shelf life, reducing food waste and providing consumers with high-quality products for longer periods.
