Lots of yummy 1L Bottles of juice ready to go in our blast freezer at -30 degrees!! What Is Blast/Flash Freezing? Here at The Juice Clinic our juices are made from scratch every single day – no pasteurization, no additives and no preservatives. This means delicious, nutrient-rich fresh juice for our clients every day. However, as our juices are so pure, then this also means that the shelf life is limited – to approximately two days. Whilst the majority of our customers are happy to have their fresh juices delivered to them each day, some have expressed a wish for us to make larger amounts, so that they can keep a ready stock available. Of course, because of the short shelf life of the pure juice, so far this hasn’t been possible. However, after a great deal of research and experimentation we have found a way in which fresh juice can be preserved, without artificial additives or pasteurization!! We’re very excited to introduce flash, or blast, frozen juices to The Juice Clinic repertoire. Flash, or blast freezing, is a process whereby extremely low temperatures are used to freeze products very quickly. Our new flash freezer machine freezes at a -30C. This speeds up the freezing process which helps to retain a higher levels of nutrients in the juice than are retained at ‘normal’ freezer temperatures. When we freeze fresh fruit and vegetables juices at normal freezer temperatures, (approximately -15C), then large ice crystals are formed. These rupture the walls of the cells present in the juice and so valuable nutrients are lost. The faster the juice is frozen, then the smaller the ice crystals – consequently there’s minimal damage to the cell walls. So, flash frozen juice will essentially contain much higher levels of nutrients than ordinarily frozen juice. Flash freezing also slows down metabolic activity which reduces harmful bacteria growth. The result is a higher quality, more nutritionally intact, better tasting juice, with minimal nutrient loss. Now clients as they can have a week’s or even a month’s supply of their favorite juices delivered in one. They can just pop them in the freezer and bring out when they want them. The juices last for over a month under these conditions, so that makes consumption time constraints much less of an issue. Of course, this also means that we can now supply supermarkets and health food stores with shrink-wrapped packs of juices, ready for you to pick up whenever you choose.
