When it comes to maintaining natural color, flavor, and nutrient integrity in frozen fruit ingredients, few solutions match the performance of high-quality frozen blackcurrants processed at -35°C. This advanced freezing method—used by leading suppliers across Europe and the Middle East—is not just a technical detail; it’s a strategic advantage for food manufacturers aiming to elevate product quality while optimizing cost-efficiency.
Unlike traditional freezing methods that can cause ice crystal damage and nutrient loss, rapid freezing at -35°C locks in freshness within minutes. According to lab tests conducted by SGS (Switzerland), this process reduces vitamin C degradation by up to 78% compared to standard -18°C freezing over a 6-month storage period. In addition, anthocyanin stability—the natural pigment responsible for blackcurrant's deep purple hue—is preserved at 94% after 12 months in cold chain logistics.
These results translate directly into real-world benefits:
| Parameter | -35°C Freezing | Standard Freezing (-18°C) |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C Retention (after 6 months) | ~82% | ~44% |
| Anthocyanin Stability (after 12 months) | 94% | 62% |
| Whole Fruit Rate (post-thaw) | ≥92% | ≤75% |
Our blackcurrants are sourced exclusively from certified organic farms in Northern Europe, where climate conditions naturally enhance anthocyanin concentration. Each batch undergoes rigorous sorting—only fruits with uniform size, firm texture, and no visible blemishes are selected. The entire production line complies with HACCP standards and is regularly audited by third-party labs such as Eurofins and TÜV Rheinland.
One client in Germany—a premium jam manufacturer—reported a 30% reduction in customer complaints about inconsistent color and taste when switching to our -35°C frozen blackcurrants. Similarly, a bakery in Dubai noted improved shelf life and visual appeal in their blueberry-blackcurrant muffins, thanks to the stable pigmentation during baking.
We understand that one-size-fits-all doesn’t work in global B2B supply chains. That’s why we offer flexible packaging options—from 5kg retail-ready packs to 15kg industrial bags—and full cold-chain logistics support, including temperature-controlled transport from warehouse to factory door. For clients in the Gulf region, we provide compliance documentation aligned with GCC food safety regulations, ensuring seamless import and faster time-to-market.
Whether you're producing artisanal fruit spreads in France or mass-market energy bars in Saudi Arabia, our frozen blackcurrants deliver consistent quality, predictable yields, and minimal waste—key metrics that matter most to procurement managers and R&D teams alike.
Let us help you source premium frozen blackcurrants that meet exacting standards—for better taste, brighter colors, and stronger margins.
