Freshline® Superfresh Solutions
Freshness on demand
Are you looking for a natural way to further extend the shelf life of your chilled foods packaged under a modified atmosphere (MAP)? Or are you looking for ways to reduce seasonal bottlenecks or better plan your production in general?
Imagine the possibility of producing your food when it suits you, and then storing it for a few months before you deliver it to your customers when it best suits them, while offering a product similar to a regular chilled MAP product. That possibility can be a reality.
Our R&D team discovered that combining cryogenic freezing and MAP effectively slows down the accelerated food deterioration occurring after thawing. It allows frozen-thawed products to offer comparable quality, appearance and shelf life to a standard MAP chilled product, and in some cases that we tested, an even longer one. Also, for all products tested, when thawed under the right conditions, the end user can safely refreeze the product at home.
Freshline® Superfresh Solutions vs Standard MAP
Produce preserved by the Freshline® Superfresh method has the following characteristics compared to standard chilled produce packaged under a Modified Atmosphere:
- Quality: comparable general appearance, taste and texture
- Humidity: similar levels of drip loss
- Refreeze: in all cases tested, results showed the product can be refrozen safely (when thawed under the right conditions)
- Shelf life: same shelf life once they reach the chilled area (and in some cases even a longer one), plus the period when it is kept frozen
