Our technologies

  • Freeze Drying
  • Product Development
  • Freeze Drying

    The most advanced process of dehydration solid and liquid materials to make products of outstanding quality.

    Our philosophy of thinking differently pushes us to extend the limits of technologies we operate. We invest intensively into development of new products way beyond the regular Freeze Dried fruits.

    Our know how and expertise allows us to offer products which are fully customized in terms of used ingredients, color, shape and texture. The only limitation is that the product you will get from us is dry.

    Learn more about the process
  • Spray Drying

    Spray drying is a process used to transform a liquid or slurry into dry powder or granules. It involves spraying the liquid material into a hot air stream, causing rapid evaporation of the liquid, leaving the dried particles in the form of free-flowing powder, the particle size is below 250 microns.

    The powder can be agglomerated into 2-3 mm granules on a fluidized bed which makes the handling of the product easier and extends range of potential applications.

  • Product Development

    The key part of our activity and philosophy is to deliver the complete solutions to our customers. We are open for working hand in hand with your development team to create the products which will give your customers full satisfaction.

    We believe that the technologies chosen and being mastered by us offer enormous potential to address the challenges of the contemporary food market. We are not afraid of scaling up our processing capacity to fill your growing needs – both by our investment and joint ventures.

Freeze Drying Advantages

Freeze Drying process or Lyophilisation is nothing more as direct transformation under low pressure of solid water commonly called ice into water vapor which can escape from the drying material and leave it completely dried.

The advantages of the process are well-known and recognized by the industry. Just to name a few of them:

Product quality

Freeze drying helps maintain the quality, taste, aroma, and texture of the original product. The freeze-dried items retain their original shape, color, and flavor. This advantage is particularly beneficial for preserving fruits, vegetables, herbs, and specialty foods.

Preservation of nutritional values

Freeze drying preserves the nutritional value of products by retaining the original structure and composition. The low temperatures used during the process minimize damage to heat-sensitive components such as enzymes, vitamins, and antioxidants. This makes freeze-dried foods and pharmaceuticals more nutrient-dense compared to other preservation methods.

Freeze Drying Process – the principle.

Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, typically involves three main stages: freezing, primary drying, and secondary drying. Description of each stage:

1
Freezing
Freezing

The process starts with freezing the product. It is one of the most important stages of Freeze Drying which can significantly affect the quality of the final product. The quicker the freezing process the smaller ice crystals are formed from water which is in the product. The goal is to freeze the product quickly and uniformly to minimize damage to its structure and preserve its quality.

At MLB Biotrade we believe this stage has tremendous potential for improvement and we put a lot of effort and attention to make the final product excellent. Check our Solutions to get more inspiration.

2
Primary Drying (Sublimation)
Primary Drying (Sublimation)

Frozen product is transferred to the main freeze-drying chamber. Pressure in the chamber is lowered below – triple point – where water can transition directly from a solid (ice) to a gas (water vapor) without passing through the liquid phase (pressure lower than 600Pa).

Heat is applied to the chamber under strictly controlled conditions in order to accelerate the process and make it more efficient. The evaporated water is collected and removed by a condenser and vacuum system.

3
Secondary Drying (Desorption)
Secondary Drying (Desorption)

In this stage, the temperature of the freeze-drying chamber is slightly increased, and the remaining bound water within the product is removed through a process called desorption. The structure of the product is already established.

The purpose of the secondary drying stage is to ensure that all residual moisture is eliminated, further enhancing the stability and shelf life of the freeze dried product.

Throughout the entire freeze drying process, precise control of temperature, pressure, and time is critical to achieve optimal results. The process aims to preserve the product’s structure, maintain its integrity, and retain its original properties.
