About Daybreak's Special Freezer "Art Lock Freezer"
The "Art Lock Freezer" is a special freezer uniquely developed by Daybreak, based on their food ingredient research data. Since its launch in October 2021, it has been adopted by over 700 companies and supported by many food businesses. In conventional freezing, cells are damaged when the water within them turns into ice. Special freezing rapidly and uniformly freezes food, creating small ice crystals that reduce cell damage and prevent the outflow of umami components. Furthermore, improved cold air circulation technology reduces damage to food. It preserves the original flavor and texture of ingredients, and even reproduces the freshly prepared taste of cooked foods. The "Art Lock Freezer" makes it possible to freeze foods that were previously considered difficult to freeze, producing high-quality frozen foods superior to conventional methods.
