FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
5 December 2025
SINGAPORE – The way consumers experience frozen food is set for a dramatic change. Durian retail specialist Spike Durian has announced an exclusive partnership with Agrifreeze, a Singapore-based deep technology company, to introduce premium durians that are available year-round and taste as good as the day they were harvested. This collaboration marks a major breakthrough in cold-chain technology, using durians as the first product to redefine freshness in frozen foods.
Agrifreeze’s proprietary cold chain blastfreezing IP is the engine behind this revolution. Unlike traditional freezing which can damage food structure, the Agrifreeze technology utilizes specialized blastfreezing frames and a AI-powered program that employs Electromagnetic Field (EMF) waves to actively control and shape ice crystals. By converting these crystals into small, uniform circular structures, the technology preserves the cellular structure and delicate texture of food items—a feat previously unattainable in commercial freezing, especially for complex produce like durian.
Christopher Quek, founder of Spike Durian, shares, “For durian lovers, the off-season is a period of disappointment, lacking any high-quality, truly premium options. Agrifreeze’s technology has finally solved this problem. We can now offer durians that, once defrosted, are indistinguishable in taste, texture, and aroma from the durians enjoyed during the peak harvest season. This partnership isn’t just about extending the season; it’s about guaranteeing consistent, superior freshness.”
Locking In Peak Freshness at the Source
Under this exclusive agreement, Spike Durian will source only the highest quality highland old tree Mao Shan Wang durians from Pahang. To guarantee peak flavor, the durians are Agrifreezed in Malaysia immediately after harvesting. They are then stored in a high-technology cold chain facility, effectively time-locking the freshness until they reach the consumer.

Rad Zakirov, Chief Operating Officer of Agrifreeze, notes the precision required. “Each food product is unique in its cellular composition. We have developed a specialized Agrifreeze program specifically for Spike Durian to ensure their premium Pahang durians retain their original cell integrity and signature creamy texture when defrosted. This validation proves our technology is adaptable and effective for even the most challenging fresh produce.”
Christopher continues, “This is more than just a durian offering; it’s our first foray utilizing a deep technology to meet a significant market need. By establishing this benchmark for premium, year-round freshness, we hope to validate more ventures with Agrifreeze going ahead, demonstrating how technology can redefine consumer food access.”
Rad concurs. “Agrifreeze has successfully trialed the agrifreezing of a wide range of food products, from fresh produce to ready-to-eat meals. The Spike Durian partnership is a vital validation of our efforts and dreams to not only satisfy cravings but also to actively solve global food security and waste issues by significantly improving preservation.”
