ProjectEnhancing Atmospheric Freeze Drying with ultrasound technologyThis research project explores the application of direct ultrasound in Atmospheric Freeze Drying (AFD) to enhance water diffusivity and reduce drying time. By integrating ultrasound technology into the AFD process, the aim is to accelerate moisture migration and improve overall drying efficiency. The project involves both computational modelling and the design and fabrication of a prototype ultrasound-assisted AFD system. The system's performance will be evaluated by analysing the drying kinetics and conducting physical and chemical characterisation of model foods.
Advancements in atmospheric freeze-drying: Innovations, technology integration, quality and sustainability implications for food preservationNikunj Naliyadhara , Francisco J. TrujilloArticleAdvancements in atmospheric freeze-drying: Innovations, technology integration, quality and sustainability implications for food preservationAtmospheric freeze-drying (AFD) is a method of freeze-drying conducted at atmospheric pressure and low temperatures below the freezing point of water, using dry air for the preservation of foods and pharmaceutical products. AFD shows promise as a cost-effective alternative to traditional vacuum freeze-drying (VFD), particularly for industrial-scale applications. This review aims to explore recent advancements…
