Freezing natto (rapid freezing demo)
To tell you the results, we succeeded in freezing natto which was overwhelmingly delicious!
A must-see for anyone who sells natto or who loves natto!
I believe there are two major benefits to freezing natto.
・Delicious natto can be delivered overseas
By freezing natto using rapid freezing freezing and selling it in large quantities, it becomes possible to deliver a large amount of natto to households in a delicious state.
In addition, natto sold overseas is exported after slow freezing.
By installing rapid freezer, it will be possible to sell delicious natto overseas.
Not only Japanese people living overseas, but also new overseas customers can enjoy the deliciousness of natto.
In this way, natto is a food whose appeal can be greatly increased by rapid freezing, which led to this demonstration.
From now on, I will tell you about the demonstration.
Freezing natto
This time, we conducted a comparison test using a general refrigerator and rapid freezer (air freezing type, liquid freezing type) that we handle.
The biggest advantage of our test room is that you can try out rapid freezer in the same environment all at once!
The next image is natto before freezing.
This is the regular natto that you often find in supermarkets.
This natto will be frozen using four types of freezers.
This time, I froze all four models with their lids on.
*This time, the freezing test was done with the lid on, but if you change the container without a lid, the freezing speed will be much faster, and there is still room for further improvement in quality due to rapid freezing. This also goes well with the ingredients.
Natto after freezing
It was rapid freezing to-18℃ in just 20 minutes.
Much faster than regular freezing!
The inside feels like this.
Here we introduce one frozen natto recipe!
・ Cut the frozen natto into quarters with a knife.
・Mix flour, water, and green seaweed to make batter.
・Place the shiso leaves with cut natto and roll them up (close the edges with batter)
- Lightly coat the whole thing with batter and fry it in oil.
Thawing results of frozen natto
Thaw in the refrigerator for 7 hours.
*Number of mixing → 50 times
All results showed that the quality was overwhelmingly better than that of regular frozen products. (flavor, stickiness, texture, etc.)
However, even rapid freezing products are compatible with food, so there are differences in quality.
We have the data and results to find out which machine is most compatible, so if you are interested, please come to our test room!
Of course, you can try not only natto but also a variety of other ingredients and foods.
Would you like to try the power of rapid freezing on your food products?
By rapid freezing, we can prevent quality deterioration caused by transporting to remote locations or exporting overseas, allowing us to supply products with more stable quality!
About comparative freezing test
In our test room, we can perform comparative freezing tests on rapid freezer from various manufacturers at the same time, allowing you to see which machine is most suitable and its effectiveness.
Many companies are already conducting rapid freezing tests in their test rooms this month.
Please feel free to contact our office if you wish to participate.
