Frozen carrot-
are a type of frozen vegetable product made from fresh carrots through processes such as sorting, washing, peeling, cutting, and blanching. The raw materials must be mature carrots with bright red flesh, smooth skin free of grooves, and straight shapes.
For export products, they must also meet the specifications of a diameter not exceeding 50 millimeters and a diameter variation ratio of ≤4:1. During processing, the carrots are cut into 0.3 cm-thick slices, 0.8-1 cm cubes, or 0.2×3-4 cm strips according to international requirements.
The blanching process involves treating the carrots in boiling water with a pH of 6.5-7 for 1.5-2 minutes while adding sodium chloride to prevent discoloration. Subsequently, the product is flash-frozen at -25°C to -35°C to form ice crystals and lock in freshness.
The production process includes 15 standardized procedures such as raw material inspection, steam bubble cleaning, ice water pre-cooling, and vibration water drainage. Continuous production is achieved using equipment like peeling machines and hair cleaning machines.
The frozen carrot must be packaged in fixed quantities and stored in polyethylene bags at temperatures between -18°C and -21°C, with a shelf life of up to 12 months. The products must comply with the GSO 839 standard, bear the “flash frozen” label, and pass pesticide residue and microbial testing
