2.5 Blast Chiller Advantages
Your blast chiller allows you to quickly cool
foodstuffs and to freeze them rapidly in
order to retain their freshness and
guarantee them a long lifetime.
Blast chilling and rapid freezing help
preserve the flavour, aroma, colour and
nutritional properties of foodstuffs.
• Blast chilling cooked foods to an internal
temperature of +3°C minimises bacterial
proliferation, which is at its maximum
between 65°C and 8°C.
• Rapid freezing to -18°C allows frozen
food to be preserved for a longer period
– usually several months more. It also
prevents the formation of “freezer burn”
(large ice crystals which damage and
break the cell walls of the foodstuffs).
When defrosted, the foodstuffs will not
lose liquid and will retain their
consistency and taste.
