Freeze-drying
During lyophilization, water undergoes sublimation, meaning it transitions directly from the solid phase (ice) to the gaseous phase, bypassing the liquid phase.
As a result, long-lasting products are created, retaining their original chemical and biological properties, which is particularly important in the food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical industries, and in medicine.
This gentle method of drying thermolabile products is a modern and environmentally friendly way to obtain products with the highest possible shelf life while preserving their original characteristics, such as taste, shape, and biological properties.

More about freeze-drying
Freeze-drying involves the sublimation drying of a frozen product under reduced pressure conditions. Before lyophilization, the product is frozen to a temperature of -20°C, -85°C, or in liquid nitrogen at -195°C, depending on the requirements.
The freeze-drying process can take from a few hours to even 5-7 days, depending on the sample size and product type.
Freeze-drying is suitable for drying heat-sensitive products that are used during conventional drying. This method can be used to preserve microbial strains, allowing for their long-term storage while maintaining the main characteristics of the strain. In chemistry, the process can be used to purify chemical compounds whose distillation would be troublesome due to their high boiling points. At the same time, material containing up to several kilograms of water can be dried in a freeze dryer.
