    Freeze Drying

    Uploaded by

    Sanjana Bhattacharyya
    Freeze drying is a technique to dry materials while preserving heat-sensitive components better than conventional drying methods. It works by freezing the material, reducing pressure to allow water to sublimate from the frozen state directly to a vapor without passing through the liquid phase. This process is used extensively in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries to extend shelf life. It was developed during WWII to transport serum and now freeze dried foods are popular emergency rations and snacks.

    INTRODUCTION
    Technique to dry materials better than
    conventional methods
    Removes up to 99% of moisture
    Used extensively in food, pharmaceutical
    and chemical industries
    Technique developed during WWII to
    transport serum

    BASIC PRINCIPLE

    Water frozen below 0C


    Reheated at pressure below 0.6 atm
    Direct sublimation occurs

    MECHANISM OF FREEZE DRYING-I


    Consists of 4 parts:
    1. Pretreatment
    2. Freezing

    Sub-cooling
    Ice nucleation
    Crystallization

    MECHANISM OF FREEZE DRYING-II

    3.

    Primary drying
    o
    o
    o

    Ice crystals sublimate, ice front moves


    back
    7-8% moisture remains
    Partial vacuum maintained

    MECHANISM OF FREEZE
    DRYING-III

    Secondary drying

    4.

    Bound moisture removed by desorption


    2-1.5% moisture remains

    WORKING OF A FREEZE
    DRYER

    APPLICATIONS: FOOD INDUSTRY-I

    Arose in late 1970s


    due to economic
    crisis
    Popularized by
    freeze-dried ice
    cream
    Light and convenient
    as emergency food
    supply
    Freeze-dried fruits
    sold as popular
    snacks
    Healthier alternative
    of processed pet food

    APPLICATIONS: FOOD INDUSTRY-II

    Fresh look and


    flavours
    remain intact
    Nutrients are
    frozen intact
    Shelf life 25+
    years
    No additives
    Easier to
    rehydrate
    because of tiny
    pores

    APPLICATIONS: PHARMACEUTICALSI
    Shelf life of life saving medicines increased
    Heat sensitive drugs and biologics can be
    destroyed on drying at high temperature
    Freeze dried products can be restored quickly
    and easily in emergencies
    Used in vaccines, antibodies, penicillin,
    enzymes, hormones etc.
    Freeze dried blood has great potential

    OTHER APPLICATIONS
    Used in restoring paper based documents
    damaged by water
    Water logged artifacts can be recovered for
    museums
    Used in taxidermy for pets and hunting
    trophies
    Used to preserve flowers and petals for
    decorations

    POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS
    Can be made more time and energy
    efficient
    Can be economized for commercial uses
    Development of better anti-freeze materials
    will reduce mechanical injury to cell
    Better stability can be provided in final
    product, especially biologics

    CONCLUSION

    THANK
    YOU!
