What is freeze-drying technology
Freeze-drying technology, also known as lyophilization, is a preservation process that involves removing the moisture from a frozen product via sublimation. This process entails freezing the product and then reducing the surrounding pressure to allow the frozen water in the product to change directly from a solid to a gaseous state without passing through the liquid phase. This technique is commonly used to preserve a wide range of products, including food, pharmaceuticals, and biological materials, while retaining their original structure, taste, and nutritional value. Freeze-drying helps extend the shelf life of perishable items, making them more stable for storage and transportation without the need for refrigeration.
