How Does Freeze-Drying Work ?

-Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a form of dehydration. Food is first frozen, then dried under pressure to remove its water content. This means that the product’s water content transitions from a solid to a gaseous state — or from ice to vapor — without going through the liquid state. Freeze-drying is considered a high quality dehydration method for a couple of reasons, including: *it operates at low temperatures, which contributes to preserving a product’s nutritional value, taste, appearance, and heat-sensitive compounds *freezing inhibits chemical and microbiological processes, which significantly delays the product’s deterioration (thereby extending its shelf life)

Raw fruits, vegetables (sometimes pre cooked), and meats are primarily comprised of water, which can be divided into “free” and “bound” water. While free water freezes, bound water doesn’t. In the freeze-drying process, all free water and some bound water must be removed, and free water must remain frozen at all times. In fact, this is the primary difference between freeze- and vacuum-drying — and the most challenging step.

What is the three step process?

The freeze-drying process can be divided into three steps: 1-Freezing: The product is often frozen under atmospheric pressure. 2- Primary drying: Also known as proper freeze-drying, this is the sublimation step in which frozen free water is removed. 3-Secondary drying: Also known as desorption drying, it’s the drying of products to their desired humidity by removing the remaining bound water.

Are freeze-dried foods healthy?

Freeze-dried foods are a healthy food choice. In fact, freeze-drying is one of the most common dehydration methods due to its numerous benefits. Freeze-drying is one of the best ways to retain the activity of beneficial plant compounds, such as phytochemicals, and nutrients while preserving color, flavor, and structure. That’s why it’s widely used to produce high-value food products. For instance, studies show that compared with other drying methods, freeze-drying is the most effective at retaining antioxidants, such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid or vitamin C.

How can I store my freeze dried food?

Once opened, freeze-dried food can start to degrade more quickly when exposed to air and moisture. To extend its shelf life keep the product inside the original packaging with the oxygen absorber and remove any excess air before closing. But you can also use, zip-top bags or food storage containers for short-term storage. Glass canning jars can be used to store freeze-dried food. To get the longest shelf life, put a oxygen absorber in the jar or remove the air from the jar using a vacuum sealer. Store it in a cool, dry and dark place.

How many slices are in the freeze dried pack?

This is complicated to calculate. As the product is cut by hand and has variations in thickness and size, there is no way to calculate by units, which is why I sell by weight. 1oz of Freeze Dried product is equal to 10/12 oz of fresh produce almost every time, once clean, without skin or seed (pit).

What is the difference between a freeze dryer and dehydrator?

A freeze dryer removes water through freezing and sublimation, preserving food's original shape, nutrients, and flavor for long-term storage, while a dehydrator uses warm air to evaporate water, which can alter the food's texture and nutritional content for shorter-term storage. Freeze dryers are significantly more expensive and take longer but result in a product that rehydrates very well, while dehydrators are cheaper and faster but produce more compact, chewy food with a shorter shelf life.
