Frozen blackcurrants have emerged as a highly sought - after ingredient in the food industry. Their application spans across various sectors such as jam production, baking fillings, and juice making. The market trend shows a growing demand for natural and high - quality food ingredients, and frozen blackcurrants fit the bill perfectly.
"The use of frozen blackcurrants in our juice production has significantly improved the product's flavor and nutritional value. It has become a key selling point for our brand," said a European juice manufacturer.
The HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of frozen blackcurrants. In the raw material acceptance stage, strict criteria are set. Only blackcurrants from the high - quality northern hemisphere regions are selected. These regions provide the ideal growing conditions, resulting in fruits with excellent flavor and nutritional profiles. The HACCP system also monitors the production process. From washing, sorting to the final freezing, every step is carefully controlled to prevent any potential hazards.
During storage and transportation, the HACCP system ensures that the blackcurrants are kept in optimal conditions. The entire process from the farm to the customer's door is under strict temperature control, maintaining the freshness and quality of the product.
Compared with traditional freezing techniques, the - 35℃ quick - freezing process has a significant positive impact on the quality of blackcurrants. In terms of color, traditional freezing may cause some discoloration, while the - 35℃ quick - freezing can maintain the natural and stable color of the blackcurrants. Regarding aroma and texture, the quick - freezing process can better preserve the original characteristics of the fruits, providing a more authentic taste experience for food processing products.
| Quality Indicator | Traditional Freezing | - 35℃ Quick - Freezing |
|---|---|---|
| Color Stability | Low | High |
| Aroma Preservation | Average | Excellent |
| Texture Retention | Poor | Good |
Frozen blackcurrants are rich in polyphenol antioxidants and vitamin C.
