Freeze drying is a drying technique that removes moisture from a substance by freezing and sublimation. Specifically, it first cools the substance below freezing, and then sublimates the water directly from the ice state to the gaseous state under high vacuum conditions, so as to remove the water to achieve the purpose of drying.
Segment analysis
According to the state of the dried substance, freeze-drying can be divided into powder freeze-drying and block freeze-drying; According to the state of the freeze-dried material, freeze-drying can be divided into liquid freeze-drying and solid freeze-drying; According to whether the freeze-dried material has been frozen, freeze-drying can be divided into quick-freezing freeze-drying and slow-freezing freeze-drying.
From the perspective of downstream applications, the application of freeze-drying technology involves many fields such as biotechnology, pharmaceutical, food processing and surgery. At present, the pharmaceutical field is the largest application market downstream of freeze drying. However, in the future, with the continuous progress of science and technology and the increase in consumer demand for high-quality and high-nutrition food, freeze-drying technology has gradually become an important development direction in the field of food processing, and the field of food processing is expected to become the largest application market in its downstream.
