Frozen sour cherry chain in Isfahan County
Sour cherry (Prunus cerasus) requires immediate biochemical stabilisation and IQF freezing due to high respiration and enzymatic oxidation; fluidised-bed tunnels pull core temperature to sub-zero within minutes.
Isfahan County acts as a cold-chain hub on the Tehran–Isfahan corridor — Ji industrial cold stores, the fruit terminal and steady demand from gaz and confectionery plants anchor year-round frozen cherry flows.
Frozen cherry product matrix
| Линейка | Переработка | КК | Применение |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pitted IQF sour cherry | Needle pitting, −35°C tunnel | Pits <1%, drip <5% | Premium bakery, tarts, hotels |
| Whole IQF with pit | Chlorinated wash, tunnel freeze | Brix ≥14, size uniformity | Jam, syrup, juice |
| Frozen puree/pulp | Milling, mild pasteurisation | Homogeneous texture | Ice cream, fruit yoghurt |
| Freeze-dried | −40°C + vacuum sublimation | Moisture <3% | Snacks, premium chocolate |
| Frozen concentrate | Vacuum evaporation to 65 Brix | Malic acidity, turbidity | Nectar, fruit sauces |
IQF workflow & needle pitting
Multi-stage wash & sort
Remove leaves, stems and waste; industrial grades.
Needle pitting (if required)
Sterile rod via stem scar; round shape, near-zero juice loss.
Pre-cool & IQF tunnel
Core −18 to −40°C within 10–12 minutes.
Inspection & packing
Film or cartons; −18°C chain prevents clumping.
Up to 18-month storage
Sub-zero halls in Ji town and Bahar complex.
Three cold-chain zones
| Зона | Инфраструктура | Роль | Игроки |
|---|---|---|---|
| East — Ji industrial town | Multiple ammonia cold stores | Stabilisation, sort, pit, pack | Sarma Afrin, Towhid, Behsard, Ji Sard |
| North — Azadegan km 12 | Bahar: 27 halls, blast freezers | Regional strategic depot | Bulk intake in Tir & Mordad |
| SE — fruit terminal | 800 t store, mechanised sort | Pre-cool before IQF | Link orchards to processing lines |
Industrial buyer QC parameters
| Показатель | Норма | Значение |
|---|---|---|
| Residual pits | Max 1 per 100 kg | Bakery & ice-cream safety |
| Thaw drip loss | 4–6% | IQF cell integrity |
| Brix | 14–18 | Sweet–sour balance |
| pH / anthocyanins | 3.2–3.6 | PPO browning control |
| Microbial load | Frozen fruit standard | Biological safety |
Market structure & national brands
Supermarket and processing demand is partly served by Behfarin (Qazvin), Nilanil, Barley and Sard-o-Taze brands via Ji warehouses and Masjed Seyd brokers; Kalleh (Pamena) ships 2.5 kg packs to hotels and bakeries.
The 800-tonne fruit-terminal cold hub sorts cherry intake before quality loss and routes volumes to county IQF lines.
Road transport without continuous −18°C is the main driver of clumping in retail packs.

Value-chain synergy & outlook
Isfahan’s edge is frozen assets and downstream gaz/confectionery demand, not orchard area; freeze-drying at Anamives and terminal modernisation open higher-value export lanes.
Summary
Ammonia cold concentration in Ji, the Azadegan axis and the fruit terminal reinforces Isfahan as central Iran’s strategic frozen cherry depot.
