The preservation of quality and safety in frozen foods throughout the distribution chain.

Author(s) : KENNEDY C. J., ARCHER G. P.

Summary

Frozen food continues to make up an increasing proportion of the European diet. Demographic changes, towards increased numbers of single person households and families with both adults in paid employment, drive this growth. Despite the focus on frozen foods as convenience foods it should be remembered that frozen products often: 1) have a higher content of volatile nutrients; 2) enjoy a relatively good safety record; 3) have sensory characteristics preferred by the consumer. A great deal of commercial and academic research has been invested in improving the quality of frozen foods. Nevertheless the perception of frozen foods as a convenience food remains.
