Mild controlled steam blanching completely deactivates polyphenol oxidase and chlorophyllase enzymes. This biochemical inactivation prevents browning and off-flavor development throughout storage and thermal cooking.
The certified shelf life is 12 months from the manufacturing date when stored at -18°C or colder. Commercial warehouses must ensure proper evaporator air circulation and protection from ambient light.
