Quick freezing is at present the only process whereby virtually all the properties of most foodstuffs can be preserved. Individual Quick Freezing (I.Q.F.) is the latest technology available in freezing and with the advent of the same, it is now possible to preserve and store raw fruit and vegetables in the same farm-fresh condition for more than a year, with the color, flavor and texture of produce remaining as good as fresh from the farm.  In IQF, each piece is frozen individually using technique of fluidization resulting in freezing of fruit and vegetables only in 10 to 12 minutes which otherwise takes at least 3 to 4 hours or even more in the blast freezer. This results into better texture and there is no lump/ block formation and the product is free flowing. One does not have to thaw or defrost the whole packet to take out only a portion, and the rest will remain frozen till required again.
