Fresh blueberry ripening time

Blueberries ripen in the summer and are picked from July to September each year. Most of the blueberries on the market in the rest of the year are out-of-season fruits grown by greenhouse technology, and their taste is not as good as that of seasonal blueberries.

Frozen blueberry processing time

Quick-frozen fruits are produced in season, so the production season of quick-frozen blueberries is from July to September, and the rest of the months are also available, but the number is very small, because the raw material cost of non-seasonal fresh fruits is high, which is not conducive to the cost control of quick-frozen fruit production.

The processing process of frozen blueberry

1. Selection of blueberry ingredients. The base is directly harvested, and the quality inspection is carried out according to the inspection procedures of raw materials, requiring no agricultural residues, no pests and diseases, no decay, and with flavor.

2. Wash and remove inedible parts of fresh blueberries. Blueberry off the top.

3. Clean and sterilize fresh blueberries.

4. Quick-freeze. Fresh blueberries are rapidly frozen by -30℃ single freezer to retain the nutrition and flavor of blueberries.

5. Selection and packaging. The bad frozen blueberries were selected and the finished products were measured and packaged.

6. Metal detection and storage. After the product is packaged, the metal detection and detection are qualified one by one, and then the finished product is put into the cold storage at -25℃ in the carton.

Domestic quick-frozen blueberry production this year

As the overall quantity of blueberries this year is not as large as last year's output, the planting area of blueberries has basically not increased, including some places in Guizhou and Sichuan, due to the replacement of varieties, economic benefits are getting worse and worse, and individual farmers have begun to cut down blueberry trees. As a result, domestic frozen blueberry production is forecast to decrease.

Processing of frozen blueberries

The processing of frozen blueberries varies greatly from north to south. Northern factory processing is more formal, because some southern factories are relatively simple, most of them have no processing experience, directly into the -18℃ cold storage, can not reach the regular production quality control system, so the southern factory compared with the northern factory, the processing quality is very different.

The price of frozen blueberries

This year's frozen blueberry production is lower than last year, it is almost a foregone conclusion, frozen blueberries as raw materials for food processing, has been commonly used products, frozen blueberries market is broad. So many of the big guys who make frozen blueberries are predicting higher prices later this year. This is also a forecast, the actual also depends on demand and time verification.
