Technical Specifications

Basic Information

• Product: Frozen Crinkle Cut French Fries (12 mm)

• Packaging: 1kg × 10 bags per carton (other pack sizes available: 500g×20, 2kg×5, 2.5kg×4, 5kg×2, 10kg×1)

• Grade: A/B (appearance, color, size uniformity)

• Storage: ≤ −18°C; Shelf life up to 24 months under proper cold chain conditions

• Certifications: HACCP, BRC, ISO, HALAL, KOSHER, GAP, SEDEX

Processing

• Raw material: Selected high-dry-matter potatoes (industrial varieties such as McCain contract potatoes)

• Production flow: Washing → Peeling → Crinkle cutting → Blanching (removes excess starch, controls sugar) → Drying → Par-frying → Cooling → IQF freezing → Packing

• IQF freezing ensures free-flowing fries, prevents clumping, and preserves natural taste and texture

Typical Physical & Nutritional Parameters (industry values)
(Exact values may vary depending on factory process and oil type)

• Moisture: 55–65% (finished par-fried IQF fries)

• Fat: 12–25% (before final frying at the customer’s side)

• Starch content (dry matter basis): 57–68% (20–30% amylose, 70–80% amylopectin)

• Water activity (surface): <0.55 for optimal crispness

• pH: Generally slightly acidic to neutral (varies by potato variety)

Appearance & Quality Standards

• Uniform 12 mm crinkle cut (tolerance ±0.5 mm)

• Golden yellow after frying (no dark spots)

• Crisp exterior, fluffy interior

• Low oil uptake due to optimized blanching and pre-frying process

• Packed in multilayer PE/PA food-grade bags and export cartons
