Acceptance of frozen foods as a safe and healthy food preservation method is leading the Korean frozen food market

Frozen foods are flash-frozen at a very low temperature to crystallise water and prevent the product from going soggy when thawed. This lowers the damage to the structure of food products. There is a very negligible variation in the nutrient content of the food. Hence, the food item stays fresh for a longer time. Moreover, Carotenoids and flavonoids are retained in frozen vegetables as they are often blanched before freezing. Frozen foods are widely accepted by people as it is a safe and healthy way of preserving food items, unlike canning and drying in which preservatives are added to increase the shelf life of products.
 

Frozen food is typically cheaper than fresh food and does not require any preparation like washing or peeling which saves a lot of time for working professionals, especially women. Also, arable land in South Korea is less  hence buying frozen food is a way to make the variety of food items accessible.

 

Market Segmentation

Frozen food  means any food item that has been processed, packaged or preserved that has been maintained at a temperature below the freezing point. Food will stay safe to eat for an infinite period of time at the suggested freezer temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
