Advantages of Low Temperature Cold Drying Technology over Fr
Though the product quality in Low temperature cold drying technology remains equivalent to freeze dried products but in many other respects it is much better than the freeze drying technology. In comparison to the freeze drying, it is highly economical & cost effective. Apart from that, in addition to drying the products effectively, it keeps the nutritional value, flavor, taste and aroma of products well preserved.
Some other advantages of the low temperature cold drying technology over Freeze drying technology are tabulated below:
Freeze Drying Technology
Low Temperature Cold Drying Technology
Product is cut then frozen upto minus 18 deg. C in deep freezer and then put it into a vacuum dryer in trays
Product is washed, blanched, cut and then put into a dryer in a cold room
Product tray is heated upto 90 deg.C
Product is not heated at all
The moisture of the product is absorbed at a very low temperature (This method is developed by us after research of 3 years by our own in-house technology)
Product dries directly by sublimation of ice without passing through intermediate liquid state
Product is dried gradually so inner structure of the product is not ruptured
Dried product is highly hygroscopic
Dried product is less hygroscopic
It restructure slowly
It restructure fast in warm water regaining the natural shape and color of the product
It is a batch processing in which first of all product is to be placed in the freezer
After that, it gets placed in vacuum dryer hence, chances of increase in microbial counts and contamination may come
The product is prepared in a single process and only the final product comes out
In this process no outside air contact with the product takes place
It causes high power consumption, so cost generally high
It causes lower power consumption, so cost remains very low
Drying time generally between 12-24 hours
During vacuum drying when the product tray is heated upto 60-90 Deg.C
Because of which, in some cases the product loses its odour, color & flavor but retains its shape
In this process, the product is dried in a low temperature, thus the color, flavor & aroma and the pungency level of the products remains absolutely original
