At Merry Time, we operate a dedicated freeze drying production line for leafy vegetables, tailored to the delicate nature of spinach. Our technical processes are as follows:
Step-by-Step Production Workflow:
Sourcing: We procure pesticide-controlled, non-GMO spinach from verified agricultural bases. All raw materials are tested for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and microbial contamination.
Pre-Processing: Leaves are washed, sorted, and blanched briefly to stabilize color and reduce microbial load.
Freezing: Spinach is rapidly frozen at -35°C to preserve cellular integrity.
Freeze Drying: Performed under vacuum below 0.1 mbar, ensuring water sublimates without entering the liquid phase.
Size Reduction: Final product is processed into flake, granule, or powder forms.
Sieving & Metal Detection: Passed through sieves and metal detectors to ensure product uniformity and food safety.
Vacuum Packaging: Nitrogen-flushed for long-term stability.
Final Testing: Microbiological testing (TVC, Coliform, Salmonella, etc.) and moisture control (<5%) are conducted before release.
Our facility is certified with ISO22000, HACCP, BRC, and FDA-registered for the U.S. market. Batch traceability is implemented across all production stages.
Merry Time is a professional manufacturer and exporter. It supplies high-quality freeze-dried spinach to other businesses. These businesses include food manufacturers, contract processors, instant meal companies, and international wholesalers. Our supply chain, which is organized in a way that controls all the different stages of production, ensures that our products are safe, consistent, and ready to be exported to clients around the world.
