Yingtai: Freeze Dryers Solve the Shelf-Life Challenge for Fruits and Vegetables
As temperatures gradually rise, the preservation of fresh produce like fruits and vegetables becomes increasingly challenging. In hot weather, their shelf life often shortens to just a few days, as they are prone to spoilage and decay due to microbial growth or enzymatic reactions. Traditional refrigeration methods struggle to fully prevent nutrient loss and texture changes during transportation and storage, causing frustration for consumers and economic losses for farmers and food processors.
Freeze dryers employ FD (freeze-drying) technology, which rapidly freezes fresh produce at low temperatures and then removes moisture through sublimation in a vacuum environment—converting ice directly into vapor. Unlike traditional hot-air drying or sun drying, freeze-drying avoids heat damage, maximizing the retention of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive compounds. Additionally, the extremely low moisture content makes freeze-dried products highly resistant to bacterial and mold growth, significantly extending shelf life.
Applications:
- Farmers: Freeze dryers help efficiently process seasonal produce (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, peaches) into high-value, shelf-stable products.
- Food Manufacturers: Ideal for long-term storage of items like instant coffee powder, tea extracts, and soup bases, meeting modern demand for healthy, natural foods.
- Outdoor Enthusiasts: Freeze-dried foods are lightweight, portable, nutrient-dense, and regain their original texture when rehydrated.
- Healthcare & Supplements: The technology preserves active ingredients in herbs, functional beverages, and dietary supplements without degradation.
From compact HFD-series freeze dryers for home use to industrial-scale FZG-series systems, FD technology delivers green, healthy food processing solutions. TF freeze dryers feature one-touch operation, making them user-friendly—whether for fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, or more.
