B.1 DESCRIPTION OF CYCLES
B.1.1 POSITIVE BLAST CHILLING
Positive blast chilling brings the food quickly to a temperature
of 37.4°F (+3°C).
Note that positive blast chilling is suitable for foods that are
going to be consumed within a few days.
There are two types of blast chilling:
• "SOFT" CHILLING
• "HARD" CHILLING
- "soft" chilling is recommended for foods such as vegetables
or pieces of food that are not very large or thick.
- "hard" chilling is recommended for larger sized pieces of
food.
B.1.2 NEGATIVE BLAST CHILLING OR FREEZING
Freezing allows foods to be preserved for longer periods (weeks
or months).
Quick freezing consists of reaching a negative temperature
(-0.4°F / -18°C) in the center of the product in the shortest
possible time. This ensures that when the product is thawed,
the tissues are not damaged and the food preserves its
aspect and nutritional ingredients.
With this cycle, the temperature of the food goes down to
between -4°F (-20°C) and -0.4°F (-18°C) when frozen.
