Frozen durian: a new export trend
Alongside fresh durian, frozen durian is an export trend favoured by many demanding markets. With a longer shelf life, frozen durian lets businesses ship over long distances while retaining flavour.
Frozen durian processing
- Harvesting: Fruit selected at standard ripeness, free of pests and disease.
- Deseeding: Clean durian flesh removed, impurities discarded.
- Bagging / traying: Vacuum sealed or packed to the requested weight.
- Individually quick frozen (IQF): Preserves cell structure, colour and flavour.
- Cold storage: -18°C in standard cold storage.
Packaging and shipping
Frozen durian is usually vacuum-sealed in PE bags and then cartoned. Reefer container shipping keeps the temperature stable throughout the journey.
Suitable markets
Frozen durian is particularly suited to distant markets such as Australia, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, where food safety requirements and long shelf life matter.
