The frozen French fries production process involves several stages: raw material preparation, 切割, 忧郁, drying, 油炸, freezing, and packaging. Each step ensures the fries maintain their texture, flavor, and safety during storage and transport. Modern production lines are semi- or fully automated, ensuring efficiency and consistency.
Frozen French Fries Production Process Key Steps
- Washing and Peeling
Equipment: Rotary drum washers, brush peelers
Potatoes are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt and peeled using abrasive or steam peelers. Advanced systems reuse water to reduce waste. - 切割
Equipment: Hydraulic or rotary cutters
Potatoes are sliced into uniform strips (typically 8–10 mm thick). Precision cutting ensures even cooking and a professional appearance. - 忧郁
Equipment: Steam or hot water blanchers
Blanching inactivates enzymes that cause browning and softens the fries for frying. Temperatures range from 70°C to 90°C. - Drying
Equipment: Air-dryers or belt dryers
Excess moisture is removed to improve frying efficiency. Optimal conditions include 75°C, 1.6 m/s airflow, 和 15 kg/m² loading for 60 分钟. - 油炸
Equipment: Continuous fryers (170–180°C)
Fries are partially fried in palm oil for 2–3 minutes to create a crispy exterior. Oil filtration systems maintain quality and reduce costs. - Freezing
Equipment: IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) tunnels
Fries are flash-frozen at -30°C to lock in freshness and prevent ice crystals. - 包装
Equipment: Automated weighing and sealing machines
Fries are packed in moisture-proof bags or boxes, ready for storage or transport
Frozen French Fries Process Advice
Raw Material Selection: Use high-starch potatoes (e.g., Russet) 酥脆. Avoid bruises or green spots.
Blanching Time/Temperature: Over-blanching softens fries, while under-blanching leads to discoloration.
Oil Quality: Regularly filter frying oil to prevent acrylamide formation, a potential carcinogen.
Freezing Speed: Slow freezing damages cell structure, causing sogginess. IQF ensures uniform texture.
Hygiene Standards: Use food-grade stainless steel (SUS304) equipment to meet safety regulations.
