Strawberry processing workflow

No.	Processing Stage	Professional Description
1	Origin Control & Scientific Harvesting	Controlled growing bases with standardized field management; scientific harvesting at optimal maturity to ensure consistent quality and Brix levels
2	Raw Material Receiving Inspection	Incoming raw material inspection including appearance, maturity, foreign matter, and basic quality compliance
3	Physicochemical Pre-Screening	Initial screening of key parameters such as Brix, pH, firmness, and sensory indicators
4	Automated Pre-Cooling	Rapid temperature reduction immediately after receiving to minimize respiration and quality degradation
5	Sorting & Foreign Matter Removal	Mechanical and manual sorting to remove leaves, stems, soil, and extraneous materials
6	Mechanical Peeling & Destoning	Automated peeling and coring (where applicable) to ensure uniform preparation and yield stability
7	Multi-Stage Bubble Washing	Multi-stage air-bubble washing system to thoroughly clean product surfaces and crevices
8	Ozone Sterilization & Disinfection	Ozone treatment applied for microbial reduction and surface sanitation
9	Automated Precision Cutting	High-precision automated cutting into specified forms (halves, slices, diced, etc.) with tight dimensional control
10	Core Blanching & Enzyme Inactivation	Controlled blanching to inactivate enzymes, stabilize color, texture, and flavor
11	Ice-Water Rapid Cooling	Immediate cooling in ice water to stop thermal processing and prevent over-blanching
12	High-Frequency Vibration Dewatering	Efficient surface water removal to improve freezing efficiency and product integrity
13	IQF Rapid Individual Freezing	Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) technology ensuring free-flowing particles and minimal cell damage
14	Automated Optical Color Sorting	Optical sorting system to remove off-color, defective, or non-conforming pieces
15	Manual Selection in Class 10,000 Cleanroom	Final manual inspection in controlled cleanroom environment for appearance and defect control
16	Automated Weighing & Packaging	Accurate automatic weighing and packaging according to customer specifications
17	Metal Detection Inspection	In-line metal detection to eliminate ferrous and non-ferrous contaminants
18	X-Ray Foreign Body Detection	X-ray inspection for dense foreign materials such as stone, glass, or hard plastic
19	Comprehensive Laboratory Testing	Full laboratory analysis including pesticide residues, heavy metals, and microbiological parameters
20	Digital Temperature-Controlled Cold Storage	Digitally monitored frozen storage at ≤ –18°C ensuring full cold-chain integrity
