With the commercial refrigeration and freezer market expanding globally, it can be seen that many businesses are coming to understand the importance and benefits of blast freezing. This rapid expansion is not only affecting large organizations but smaller, local ones too as more and more of us demand freshly frozen food products.

If we are to understand the reasons behind this expansion, we must look toward the specific benefits that blast freezers hold, as well as the problems that they can prevent within the food and catering industries.

Bacterial Protection and Control
Meat, fish and poultry can all harbor considerable amounts of bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella in their fresh, raw form. These bacteria multiply alarmingly quickly over just a few days if left in unsuitable conditions. However, they can be controlled and destroyed if the correct freezing and cooking methods are used.

One of the biggest benefits of blast freezers is that they have the ability to freeze several tons of produce in as little as 24 hours. This super-fast process ensures that bacteria has minimal time to develop and keeps produce fresh in bulk.

As a rule of thumb, you should ensure that meat, fish and poultry are stored at around -18 °C (equivalent to 0 °F) or colder. At this temperature, bacteria cannot develop and you can be sure that your produce is safer for consumers once it is in their hands.

Another fantastic benefit of the blast freezer is that it can help to preserve nutrients in food
