Individual Quick Freeze: IQF Seafood Demand

When it comes to sea food, we all expect fresh and high-quality produce. However, this is not often the case. With demand for fresh sea food increasing every day, businesses are facing increasing difficulty in acquiring sea food at the quality expected by the customers.

A lot of customers look to flash freeze their sea food inventory for long periods of time to keep themselves stocked and ready to meet demands. However, this is not very effective as the quality of the sea food reduces greatly with normal methods of refrigeration.

Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) helps maintain the fresh quality of sea food while minimizing drip loss. With Individual Quick Freezing, the cell destruction that is caused during the process of refrigeration is minimized thereby maintaining the flavor and texture of the product, even after defrosting.

Availability of Fresh Seafood

While the demand for fresh sea food increases, businesses are faced with an increasing and ever-growing problem; a shortage of actual fresh sea food. While businesses that are located near the cost usually have the ability to have access to fresh sea food, this is not the case for businesses that are located inland.

So how are seafood businesses that do not have the luxury of being located close to the sea side supposed to manage the demands of their consumers and match their standards?

The answer is IQF. With individual quick freezing it is possible to maintain high quality while also flash freezing the seafood individually. This prevents, clumping, discoloration and drip loss.
