Freeze drying is a popular method for preserving the freshness of foods. It is a technique that involves removing water from food products by subjecting them to low pressure and temperature. Freeze-dried foods have a longer shelf life than other preservation methods, and they retain their nutritional value, flavor, and texture. In this article, we […]
Lets follow these simple steps in installing your CD8 freeze dryer. Before we begin, when preparing for installation, make sure that you have a surface with the right size to accomodate and support the weight of your CD8. Allow 200 mm around the unit to allow air to circulate – keep it away for many […]
Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is a complex process used to preserve biological materials such as food and pharmaceuticals by removing water from them. This process has found many applications in various fields, such as food science, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and space exploration. In this article, we will explore the freeze-drying process, the benefits it […]
When it comes to freeze drying, not all systems are created equal. While the basic process of freezing and drying remains the same, the capabilities and configurations of freeze dryers can vary significantly. Some freeze dryers can only handle the drying process and rely on external freezing options, while others offer a more comprehensive solution. […]
Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process that is used to preserve a wide range of products, from food to pharmaceuticals. The process involves freezing the product, then removing the frozen water or other frozen solvents through sublimation. While the drying process is important, the freezing process is equally important in ensuring the […]
