IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology represents a revolutionary advancement in food preservation, offering a superior method for maintaining the quality and nutritional value of various food products. This innovative freezing process involves rapidly freezing individual food items separately, preventing them from clumping together and ensuring each piece maintains its original shape, texture, and flavor. The process works by exposing food items to extremely cold temperatures, typically between -30°F and -40°F, while keeping them separated on a conveyor belt system. During this process, small ice crystals form within the food's cells, minimizing cellular damage and preserving the food's natural characteristics. This technology has become instrumental in the food industry, particularly for freezing fruits, vegetables, seafood, and meat products. The rapid freezing process ensures that products maintain their natural color, texture, and nutritional content, making them virtually indistinguishable from fresh products when properly thawed. IQF technology has revolutionized food storage and distribution, enabling year-round availability of seasonal products while maintaining their original quality.
