About Freeze Drying Technology

Lyophilization, commonly called freeze-drying, is an ancient preservation process that makes perishable materials more portable by freezing them and reducing pressure to sublime water. Originating with 13th-century Andean Indians, it wasn’t highly refined until the 1950s. World War II spurred its development for blood plasma due to organic suitability. After the war, it entered consumer food markets. Historical milestones include Albert Altmann’s 1890 freeze-drying of organ pieces and a 1920s patent for freeze-drying rabies virus. The 1950s expanded uses to camping foods. NASA utilized freeze-drying for space food, famously including ice cream on Apollo 7 and Gemini. In 1965, Nestlé introduced freeze-dried instant coffee, mainstreaming the technology. Early applications by Aztecs and Eskimos for biological samples preceded industrial vacuum plants. Modern freeze-drying freezes products in designed chambers with heating elements to create solid granules, influenced by chamber geometry and speed.

Advantages are profound: foods last 7–8 times longer than fresh, retain nutrients, and are cost-effective. Dairy products like cheese and yogurt preserve nutrients and probiotics.
