Freeze Dry Process
Dehydration is an important process for the
preservation and storage of biologicals, pharmaceuticals
and foods. Of the various methods of dehydration,
freeze drying (lyophilization) is especially suited for
substances that are heat sensitive. Other than food
processing (e.g., coffee, whole dinners), freeze drying
has been extensively used in the development of
pharmaceuticals (e.g., antibiotics) and preservation of
biologicals (e.g., proteins, plasma, viruses and
microorganisms). The nondestructive nature of this
process has been demonstrated by the retention of
viability in freeze dried viruses and microorganisms.
