3-Step Screening Process to Ensure High Whole-Blackberry Yield and Boost Product Competitiveness

In today’s fast-evolving food processing industry, the quality of raw materials directly influences the final product's reputation and market success. For frozen blackberries, maintaining a high whole-fruit yield while preserving nutritional value and flavor is a vital competitive advantage. Our unique approach combines stringent three-phase manual screening with cutting-edge flash-freezing technology, achieving an exceptional 95% whole-fruit retention rate, which ensures superior quality for any application—from smoothie bases to gourmet desserts.

Step 1: Selecting Premium Blackberries from Optimal Growing Regions

The foundation of top-tier frozen blackberries begins with sourcing fruit from renowned growing regions renowned for ideal climate and soil conditions—such as the Pacific Northwest of the United States and select zones in Eastern Europe. These regions produce blackberries with naturally enhanced sweetness, firm texture, and vibrant color. Rigorous phytosanitary inspections and maturity checks ensure only prime berries enter the processing chain. Our procurement team collaborates directly with growers to guarantee traceability and quality compliance at every batch.

Step 2: Three-Phase Manual Screening for Superior Whole Fruit Integrity

Maintaining the highest whole berry ratio is crucial for consumer appeal and processing adaptability. Our patented 3-step manual screening involves:

• Initial Sort: Removing underripe and overripe berries to ensure uniform ripeness.
• Secondary Screening: Eliminating damaged, shriveled, or deformed fruits to enhance visual quality.
• Final Handpick: Expert quality control technicians perform a final check for blemishes and broken berries.

This meticulous procedure consistently results in a whole-fruit yield exceeding 95%, significantly higher than industry averages, which often hover around 80–85%. The emphasis on whole berries not only improves product appearance but also facilitates uniform freezing and easier downstream processing.

Step 3: Advanced Flash-Freezing Technology to Lock in Freshness

Rapid freezing immediately after sorting is essential to preserve cellular structure, nutritional content, and natural flavor. Our proprietary ultra-fast freezing technology freezes blackberries at -40°C within minutes, drastically minimizing ice crystal formation that damages fruit integrity. Independent lab analyses confirm that after freezing, vitamin C retention remains above 90%, and antioxidant levels show minimal degradation compared to fresh fruit. This ensures that end-products retain both taste and nutritional value loved by health-conscious consumers worldwide.
