Industrial-Scale Food Freezing

Cryogenic freezing provides processors with the ability to change production, process a variety of products and produce high quality frozen food.
Christopher G Johnson, Praxair Inc., A Linde Co.
April 6, 2020
No Comments

Freezing preserves raw or prepared foods to allow them to be stored for an extended period. Placing food in a frozen state slows decomposition by converting residual moisture to ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species, and locking in important sensory attributes like taste, color and essential nutrients.
