5 tests de qualité qui font le succès ou l’échec d’un lot de frites surgelées

5 Quality Tests That Make or Break a Frozen Fry Batch Every French Fries Manufacturer knows there is a difference between a good and great fry, and the secret to a great fry is science. That's art. Behind each golden fry that falls upon the plate of your customer is a procedure loaded with accuracy, patience, and, yes, lots of experimentation.  (It should be imagined as a crispy exam, the fries are only good when they pass the exam). You may be a HoReCa customer, you may be an importer, you may be a Supplier of French Fries, but being aware of the test of the fries allows you to find partners who value quality as much as you do. Now, we should take the layers off and find out what makes or breaks a batch of Frozen French Fries.
  • The Cut & Size Uniformity Test
Continuity begins with the cut. A pack should never contain a puzzle of fries of different shapes. When you open it, all the fries must be of the same fry family. Regular cutting guarantees a uniform frying and a perfect presentation, which are necessary in restaurants and QSRs. An efficient Frozen French Fries Manufacturer has uncompromising cutting machines that ensure that the sizes of each batch will be the same. At Happiyum, each batch is subjected to a size uniformity control (since the fries, which are not cooked, even look awkward, not to mention that they do not cook evenly, as well). (And nothing makes a customer kill his mood like a wet fry just like a burnt one.)
  • The Crispness and Moisture Balance Test
The greatest secret of a french fry is the water content. Too much, and it turns soggy. Excessively little, and it gets parched and dry. The perfect fry has the optimal combination of internal softness and the exterior crunch. That is why Frozen French Fries Manufacturers carry out moisture tests in order to determine the amount of water that remains frozen and remains locked in after freezing and frying. Fries are also tested at Happiyum on the parts of hold time or how long fries maintain their crispness after frying. This is of particular significance to delivery businesses and hotels that require fries to travel a long distance. (Your fries should not get soft between the preparation stage and the consumer.)
  • The Color and Frying Performance Test
In the food industry, color speaks louder than words. The finest fries are of that indefinable golden colour, not too light or too dark. Frying tests are performed by the manufacturers to identify how each frying reacts to heat so that fries can cook uniformly without adding unnecessary oil. This depends on the temperature of the oil, the length of frying time and the type of potato. The professional quality team at Happiyum conducts tests in batches when evaluating the performance and aesthetics of frying performance and visual appeal, since it is not by chance that frying develops that golden glow, but rather that is quality. (And, also, we do a taste-test each batch.)

  • The Texture & Bite Test

This one is the favourite of everyone in testing, the actual tasting. An excellent fry must have a good crunchy bite, but then the inside should have that soft,airy potato feel. It is the final balance; it is crispy outside and fluffy inside. At Happiyum, machines are not the only ones we rely on. Our team manually checks for:
  • Exterior crispness
  • Internal fluffiness
  • Tastes and absorption of oil.
Since machines are capable of measuring crispness, humans are the only people capable of feeling satisfied. (And when it does not make somebody say "mmm," then it is not prepared yet.)
  • Freeze and Storage durability test
A fry has to go through all the kitchen examinations, and then it has its most challenging task to do: time. A Real Frozen French Fries Manufacturer can understand that the fight is not finished after freezing, but rather how fries can survive storage, delivery, and thawing without deterioration. This is the reason why Happiyum, under the cold-chain stability and thaw-resistance tests, subjects every batch of the product to these techniques: the fries should be able to retain their structure and flavor despite long transportation or deep freezing. We have a specific high-tech IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology that allows us to keep all the fries and maintain the unique texture and avoid clumps and frost damage. (And when it comes into your kitchen, it fries like it was made last night. Quality That Travels, Taste That Lasts The actual distinction in the world of Frozen French Fries is the invisible one, the extra few seconds of inspection, the one-more-test mindset before a batch gets out of the factory. That is the difference between a French Fries Supplier and a French Fries Manufacturer: one is a seller of products, the other is a giver of trust. At Happiyum, quality is not a feature; it is a mindset. All fries are tested, tasted, and trusted until they get the Happiyum label. Since we feel that whenever our fries walk away from our premises, they take our image with them, and that is something we will never compromise on. (And after all, we do not just freeze our fries; we freeze trust and confidence). The Final Verdict When you are sourcing Frozen French Fries to export, or HoReCa supply, or distribution, keep this in mind that great fries are not made in a day. They are refined with the use of multiple quality trials, human instinct, and a sprinkle of obsession. And at Happiyum, it is such an obsession that makes our fries so golden, crispy, and consistent in every chance we get.

As far as frozen French fries are concerned, not every cut is created alike. The different varieties, i.e. Straight Cut, Shoestring and Crinkle, add a personality to the plate (and to the profit margins, too!). To the importers, the decision on the type to use does not only depend on taste, but it is also […]
