Shelf Life of Frozen Foods

In the process of freezing food, the amount of water, microorganisms play an important role. The basic principle of freezing; it is based on the proliferation of microorganisms in foods at low temperatures and the definitive cessation of activities, slowing down biochemical and chemical reactions as much as possible.

The activities of both food poisoning microorganisms and psychophilic microorganisms are absolutely below -10ºC. Currently, the maximum temperature that can be applied in order to prevent microbiological deterioration is -10ºC. The distance of frozen food from the center point to the surface is the ratio of this center to the time it takes for the temperature to drop from 0°C to -15°C. Freezing speed; they are classified as excessively fast, very fast, fast, slow, very slow freezing. According to these situations, the shelf life of frozen foods can be safely provided in the freezer of -18 degrees until the expiration date.
It is a very natural method to store food by freezing it, and in the meantime there is no need to use any additives. Since food is shocked and frozen at -40 degrees by the IQF method and stored at -18 degrees, it is not possible to reproduce microorganisms that cause the product to rot and micro-organisms to spoil the products. Unless the cold chain breaks...

We can say that frozen foods are healthier in terms of consumption and preservation, hygiene and nutritional value compared to fresh products. Because I don't know if I In the production of frozen food, vegetables and fruits are frozen as soon as possible after harvesting, with the least loss of nutritional value with advanced technology, but since the food sold in the market and grocery store waits until it reaches the customer, significant losses in nutritional values may occur.

Frozen foods vary in expiration dates by type. Taking these dates into account, you can keep all frozen foods fresh until the expiration date in your freezer at -18°.

When all these points are taken into account, the shelf life of frozen foods can be extended and consumed with peace of mind. Shonti meticulously produces frozen foods that it provides to you valuable consumers in a way that its shelf life is maintained in the longest term.
