Overcoming Challenges in Chilling Berries

Chilling is a crucial step in berry processing, but it comes with some common hurdles:
  • Preventing Appearance Damage: Berries are highly sensitive to mechanical handling, which can cause surface damage.
  • Yield Loss: High water content in berries can lead to dehydration if not cooled efficiently.
  • Stickiness: Diced or sliced berries may become sticky, leading to lump formation.
