The Science of Sublimation
At Cibus AgroTech, we utilize advanced Vacuum Freeze Drying (VFD), a sophisticated dehydration process primarily used in aerospace and high-end pharmaceuticals to preserve the structural and nutritional integrity of organic matter.
Pre-Freezing (Solidification)
The product is rapidly cooled in our internal plate freezers to temperatures well below its triple point. This ensures that all water molecules are locked into a solid crystalline structure, preventing cellular rupture.
Primary Drying (Sublimation)
The product is placed in a vacuum chamber where the pressure is lowered significantly. A controlled amount of heat is applied. Under these vacuum conditions, the ice “sublimates” directly into vapor. This phase removes approximately 95% of the water content.
Secondary Drying (Adsorption)
The remaining “bound” water molecules are removed by slightly increasing the temperature under a deep vacuum. This stage ensures the final product reaches a moisture level of 1% to 4%, providing a shelf life of years without chemical preservatives.
