🔑Key Points:
• Lyophilization:
-Lyophilization or freeze-drying is a process in which water is removed from a product after it is frozen and placed under a vacuum, allowing the ice to change directly from solid to vapor without passing through a liquid phase.
-The process consists of three separate, unique, and interdependent processes; freezing, primary drying (sublimation), and secondary drying (desorption).
• Sun-drying:
-It is a method of preserving foods using sunlight as a source.
• ​Drum drying:
-It is a method used for drying out liquids from raw materials with a drying drum.
-In this process, pureed raw ingredients are dried at relatively low temperatures over-rotating, high-capacity drums that produce sheets of drum-dried product. This product is milled to a finished flake or powder form.
• ​Spray drying:
-A continuous unit operation that employs liquid atomization to produce droplets that are dried to individual particles when moved in a hot gaseous drying medium
