Electrolyzer refers to food products that have been preserved through the process of freezing, wherein the food is subjected to extremely low temperatures, typically below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), to maintain its quality, nutritional value, and sensory attributes for an extended period. This preservation technique inhibits the growth of microorganisms and enzymatic activity, thereby slowing down the deterioration of the food. Electrolyzer encompasses a wide range of products, including raw ingredients, pre-cooked meals, snacks, desserts, and fully prepared dishes, which are typically packaged in airtight containers or bags to prevent freezer burn and maintain product integrity. The Electrolyzer industry is characterized by its convenience, extended shelf life, and diverse product offerings catering to consumer preferences and needs.
