5% of Peruvian blueberries are destined for frozen products. In order to maintain the cold chain in frozen blueberries, a careful process is needed where temperature is the protagonist.

There is a process prior to freezing that is very important, which is cooling and de-watering.

The most common challenges in freezing blueberries are aesthetics, performance and dehydration. This process is known as individual quick freezing (IQF).

Speed fans are used to perform this process, where it results in a surface freeze that does not damage the product.
