The future of food
What is Freeze-Drying?
Freeze Drying is a dehydration and preservation process in which the product is frozen and subsequently placed in a vacuum chamber to separate the water by sublimation.
Sublimation means that water is eliminated from the solid to the gaseous state, without passing through the liquid state.
Freezing-sublimation cycles are used for accelerating the process and eliminating practically all the free water content from the original food while preserving the molecular structure of the freeze-dried product.
It is used mainly in the food and pharmaceutical industries to preserve food or medicines.
It is a very efficient technology that delivers high-quality products since the nutritional and organoleptic properties are maintained. In addition, an exceptional advantage is obtained for transport or storage because the weight is notably reduced.
