～Traditionally, when the meat is just frozen in general freezer, it is often found that it loses their original fresh taste after it is defrosted, and the appearance is dented and blackened. These problems can be avoided by IQF rapid freezing. The temperature of the meat will drop rapidly by IQF, making the ice-crystal-like molecules inside the meat small enough and evenly distributed. The cell tissues will not be damaged and therefore be kept intact. While retaining the original composition and nutrition, the meat quality and umami taste of the food can still be maintained;
～IQF is also a sterilization process to kill most of the bacteria and parasite, to make sure it is hygienic and also to preserve the fresh taste, meat texture and nutrition;

Lobster Nutrition Value :
a. Protein
The protein content of lobster is 18.9%, which is higher than that of most fresh water and marine fish and shrimp. Its amino acid composition is better than other meats. It contains 8 essential amino acids that are necessary for the human body but cannot be synthesized in the body, including isoleucine, amino acid, lysine, phenylalanine, valine and threonine, and also contains arginine, which is very little in vertebrates, and lobster also contains histidine, which is also essential for young children.
b. Fat
The fat content of lobster is only 0.2%, which is not only much lower than that of livestock and poultry meat, but also much lower than that of green shrimp and prawns, and most of its fat is composed of unsaturated fatty acids necessary for the human body, which is easily digested and absorbed by the human body, and It has the effect of preventing the accumulation of cholesterol in the body.
c. Trace elements (mineral components)
Lobster contains essential minerals for the human body, among which calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, selenium are more abundant, and iron, sulfur, copper, phosphorus, etc. are more important. The total amount of minerals in lobster is about 1.6%. Among them, the content of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and iron is higher than that of ordinary livestock and poultry meat, and it is also higher than that of prawns. Therefore, regular consumption of lobster meat can maintain the activity of nerves and muscles.
d. Vitamins
From the perspective of vitamin composition, lobster is also one of the important sources of fat-soluble vitamins. Lobster is rich in vitamins A and D, which greatly exceeds the content of terrestrial animals.
e. Astaxanthin
A very important substance in lobsters is astaxanthin, which is the red-colored component on the surface. Astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant found so far. The darker the color, the more obvious the higher the astaxanthin content.
f. Chitin
Lobster chitin is an animal fiber. Its main function is to reduce cholesterol in the blood, so it can prevent cardiovascular disease. The effect on weight control is that chitin itself is positively charged and can absorb negatively charged fat. The chitin itself cannot be absorbed by the human body, so after these fats are absorbed, they are excreted with chitin.
