DHF vegetables are partially dehydrated and then quickly frozen. The purpose of this process is to retain nutritional content, colour, flavour and most importantly texture when cooked from the frozen state.
Recent advancements made by EnWave’s engineering group regarding the development of the quantaREV platform has enabled this change to occur, which will establish an increased synergy for the overall project and relationship with Bonduelle going forward.
The two companies will concurrently collaborate on the research and development and on the design of an operational quantaREV machine, up to 400kW, for DHF vegetable production with target finished frozen product capacity of between 3-4 tonnes per hour.
The larger quantaREV machine design is expected to be completed in 2015 providing Bonduelle with the opportunity to launch DHF products in a broader way.
