Freeze Drying: Healthiest Method to Increase the Shelf Life

The global freeze-drying market is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR of around 7.4%, by 2031.

Additionally, the growing consumer spending on food, beverages, and catering is contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, the high demand for processed food is directly contributing to regions such as North America, which is contributing to market growth.

It is believed that freeze-drying is the best method of drying. However,?the method selection is critical, as wrong method selection may cause unfavorable changes in the material, such as shrinkage, color change, and collapsed structure. Freeze-drying is effective at retaining antioxidants, such as?anthocyanins, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid or vitamin C.
