Fruits and Vegetables

High-value produce such as raspberries and strawberries benefit greatly from cryogenic freezing and cooling to extend their availability and shelf life throughout the year, while maintaining original quality. Rapid freezing means the fruit retains its texture, shape and flavour after defrosting. High-volume, low-value fruit and vegetables do not generally benefit from cryogenic freezing and cooling.

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) will maintain freshness and extend shelf life for other high-value perishable products such as salads and herbs, as well as sliced fruit and vegetables.

BOC's dedicated field and in-house specialists have in-depth knowledge of the solution options available in this constantly developing area, whether considering product storage, transportation, cryogenic freezing or MAP. Across the entire value chain, we have the expertise and technologies to help you control temperature, improve processing conditions, scale production capacity, increase product yield and ultimately increase food shelf life naturally.
