Lyophilization, commonly called freeze-drying, is an ancient technique to preserve and portableize perishables by freezing and sublimating water under low pressure. Originating with 13th-century Andean Indians, it refined in the 1950s. World War II spurred its use for blood plasma. Afterward, it entered consumer food sectors. In 1890, Albert Altmann freeze-dried organs; 1920s patents covered rabies virus freeze-drying. The 1950s expanded to camping food. NASA leveraged it for astronaut meals, famously with ice cream on space missions. Nestlé’s 1965 freeze-dried instant coffee popularized it. Historically, Aztecs and Eskimos used it for biological samples. Modern methods involve freezing in designed chambers with heating to create solid granules based on chamber geometry and speed.

Benefits are substantial: foods last 7–8 times longer than fresh, keep nutrients, save money, and offer convenience. Freeze-dried dairy maintains nutrients and probiotics.

Senova freeze dryers, serving homes, labs, and industries for 15 years, provide global support in over 80 countries, with an EU office in 2024.
