In the competitive world of frozen fruit processing, how you freeze your blackberries can make or break your product’s quality, shelf life, and buyer trust. Unlike traditional slow-freezing methods that cause ice crystal damage, rapid freezing at -18°C locks in nutrients, texture, and color—delivering a superior ingredient that meets both regulatory standards and consumer expectations.
“Rapid freezing reduces cellular damage by up to 70% compared to conventional methods,” says Dr. Elena Rodriguez, Senior Food Scientist at the Institute of Refrigerated Foods (IRF). “This means higher retention of anthocyanins, vitamin C, and natural flavor compounds.”
Our process begins immediately after harvest—within 2 hours—to minimize oxidative degradation. The berries are washed, sorted, and rapidly cooled using cryogenic air tunnels before being flash-frozen at -18°C. This ensures minimal ice crystal formation, preserving firmness and preventing juice leakage during thawing.
| Nutrient | Retention Rate (Rapid Freeze) | Retention Rate (Slow Freeze) |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 89% | 56% |
| Anthocyanins | 92% | 61% |
| Total Antioxidant Capacity | 94% | 63% |
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for microbial load, moisture content, and sensory attributes (color, aroma, texture). With an average whole-fruit yield of over 95%, our frozen blackberries reduce waste for food processors—and boost profitability across production lines.
For global buyers, consistent quality is non-negotiable. Our ISO 22000 and HACCP-certified facilities ensure traceability from farm to freezer. We also offer customized packaging solutions—from 5kg vacuum-sealed bags to 25kg bulk containers—for seamless integration into your manufacturing workflow.
