[0002] Fresh corn refers to young, tender corn with a unique flavor and quality. Compared to regular corn, it is sweeter, more glutinous, more tender, and more fragrant. Market demand for fresh corn is increasing, making its preservation and processing particularly important. Because the edible portion of fresh corn consists of immature, tender kernels, they experience vigorous respiration and metabolism, rapidly convert sugars, and are prone to dehydration and deterioration, making long-term storage difficult. Therefore, quick freezing is necessary for long-term storage or year-round supply.
