Several quality parameters, such as volumetric shrinkage, internal structure, color changes, and glass transition temperature (Tg) of dry solids, were investigated during freeze-drying of strawberry, apple, and pear, at various combinations of freezing and freeze-drying temperatures. Process conditions ...
Few backpackers freeze-dry their own food, but buy freeze-dried brands such as Mountain House. Items are placed inside, where the water is removed by bing “flash frozen” and then placed into a vacuum chamber. Cell structure, nutrients, shape, and color are all preserved because of this ...
Freeze-drying uses a technique calledsublimation, where a frozen liquid passes directly from a frozen state and into a gaseous state. You have probably seen this transformation process at a rock concert, where blocks of solid carbon dioxide, or dry ice, create the “smokey” atmosphere up on ...

Freeze-drying has been frequently used to preserve food and microorganisms at room temperature (RT) for extended periods of time; however, its application to mammalian species is difficult. Here, we developed a method to prolong the stability of freeze-dried (FD) mice spermatozoa at RT for more...
By the way, dehydrating is a completely different process than freeze drying. More on this to come. The freeze dryer has sensors that automatically stop the dry time when the food is done, you then have the option to check your food and either take it out, or add some dry time. ...
Transfer the aluminum block with the cryogenic tubes into a small container with a few pellets of dry ice. Place the container on a rocking shaker under gentle agitation and inside afume hoodfor 4–6h. Performing freeze-substitution under agitation greatly improves the exchange of water by solven...
The freeze dryer oil change process is simple: Open drain valve and allow oil to drain into container of your choice. We use old yogurt containers. Tip up pump, if desired, to make sure to clear out as much oil as possible. Close drain valve. ...
This result can now be explained by a diffusion mechanism for the intermixing process, as follows. The antibodies to the human cell membrane were no doubt directed to a heterogeneous set of antigens, whereas the antibodies to the mouse cell were directed specifically to the histocompatibility allo...
Once again you will need a vacuum pump that can reach extremely low pressures. You will also need foam insulation, dry ice, and some strong glass bowls to create the vapor trap, all of which are connected with tough plastic pipes and metal fittings. While the process involves using a drill...
