Benefits of freezing at -80ºC
Curós Fred’s freezing tunnels work with a freezing temperature of -80ºC, compared to the traditional freezing systems that work at -40ºC.
What are the benefits of our freezing tunnels?
GasN2, IQS (Chemical Institute of Sarrià) and Curós Fred confirmed the benefits of freezing at -80oC in a joint study:
A lower freezing temperature and a faster freezing rate
A lower temperature provides a faster freezing speed, facilitating, thus:
- Maintaining the shape of the cells (the location of the ice is intracellular).
- Avoid the reverse osmosis phenomenon.
- Better preservation of the organoleptic properties of the product.
Product characteristics are preserved better
Curós freezing technology, at -80°C, provides better preservation of product characteristics:
- Reduced weight loss: 2.63% less weight loss when compared to traditional freezing.
- Colour preservation: colorimetry results confirm that freezing at -80oC does not burn the meat, preserving its color.
- Products frozen at -80oC lose 22% less water during thawing.
