Vacuum freeze drying (VFD) is aprocess of preserving
all kindes of processed food delicacies with out affecting the physical
and biological properties of the product, which retain their size,shape,
and colour, flavour and all nutritional values.
The process involves
freezing of the product to sub eutectic point and subjecting to high
vacuum.The water contained in the product in thr form of ice molecules get
directly sublimated into the vapour form.The process of dehydration is
thus achieved with out application of heat on the product
VFD being a batch process & also capital intensive, the cost of
production per unit weight of the finished product is relatively higher
though the quality of the product is quite superior.The VFD process is
therefore recommended for the expensive products such as shrimps,exotic
fruit and vegetables,herbs and ready to eat precooked delicaciesof all
kindes.The reconstitution of VFD products is very fast
MIPL are highly experienced and knowlegible in design development
& engineering of the projects on Vacuum Freeze Drying
