Frozen Fruit Is Expected To Witness Significant Growth
Freezing is a convenient and quick process for preserving fruits for a longer time. The temperature of frozen fruits is reduced and maintained below the freezing point for transportation and storage until they are ready to be eaten. Frozen fruits are stored at less than 20 °C for use whenever required. The frozen fruit products are thawed, sweetened, and finally heat-treated, and, depending on the acidity and type of fruit, the temperature of the heat treatment varies from as low as 60 °C to as high as 95 °C.
