freeze drying
freeze drying (lyophilization) The removal of liquid from heat-sensitive materials. The material is frozen, placed under a high vacuum, and maintained at a low temperature (–40°C or below). The pressure generated by the vacuum causes the ice to turn from a solid to a gaseous form without passing through a liquid state. This allows the removal of water from the material without otherwise disturbing its composition. Freeze drying is used to preserve tissues (e.g. blood plasma) and foods and to concentrate solutions.
