Freeze-dried Products
Freeze-dried products are fruits and vegetables from which water has been removed through sublimation, without passing through a liquid phase. This method preserves the characteristic taste, aroma, color, and nutritional properties of the raw material, while simultaneously reducing its moisture content.
Natural Poland offers freeze-dried fruits and vegetables intended for food manufacturers. Depending on the raw material, products are available as whole fruits, halves and slices, pieces or sticks, grits of various fractions, and finely ground powder.
Properties of Freeze-dried Products
Low moisture content makes freeze-dried products dry and easy to use in food formulations. They retain the taste, aroma, and color characteristic of the fruits or vegetables used.
Individual forms can be matched to the function of the raw material in the finished product. Whole fruits, halves, and slices remain a visible component of the recipe. Grits facilitate the even distribution of raw material pieces, while powder imparts taste, aroma, and color to products without leaving larger particles.
