Durian packaging machine overview
Durian is a tropical fruit grown in South Asia countries including Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines, and this fruit is welcomed by consumers all over the world. Based on the requirements for durian delivery and longer shelf life, we are providing full series of durian packaging machines, for both whole frozen durians and frozen durian pulps.
Whole frozen durian packaging machines
As we all know, Malaysian durian is not allowed to be harvested until it’s at 100% maturity and full ripening stage where the taste and quality profile is at its best. Because of this, the shelf life of Malaysian fresh durian is literally very short (5-7 days), which makes it’s export almost impossible. Fortunately, this issue can be solved by using cryogenic nitrogen freezing technology.
The whole fresh durian can be put into the IQF liquid nitrogen tunnel freezer with temperature at -80 to -100 Celsius (or lower temperature), and then the frozen durian can be stored at -18 Celsius for shelf life up to 18 months, keeping the original fresshness, flavor, taste, golden flesh color and texture. After the consumers purchase the frozen whole durians, they can be easily defrosted and ready for eat after 6 hours placing in room temperature.
Instant freezing of whole frozen durian enables easy export to countries all over the world. This technology is now mostly taken by durian exporters in Malaysia and Indonesia, and they are doing even further and better. Besides instant freezing, vacuum packaging is another technology they use.
