WHY FREEZE DRYING?
What Is Freeze Drying?
It is a process that is used for drying and preserving a number of food products, including meats, vegetables, fruits, and instant coffee products. It’s an ancient method of preserving food that has developed into a recent technology involving:
-
Removing ice from frozen fruits or vegetables, through sublimation, where the final product contains very low moisture content maintaining the highest value of its nutrients and sensory measures.
-
Sealing food in air tight packaging to sustain its crispy freshness.
The dried product will be the same size and shape as the original frozen material and will be found to have excellent stability and convenient reconstitution when placed in water.
