Freeze dryer: A technological miracle of human race against time
In the world of food and medicine, there is an invisible "race" going on. Imagine that fresh fruits and vegetables, exquisite biological agents, their lives seem to have been paused, and the mysterious freeze dryer is the hero behind all this. When the fruit is put into the freeze dryer, a contest with time begins. Low temperature quickly freezes the water, and then in a vacuum environment, the ice directly sublimates into gas. This process seems to be magical, and the color and nutrition of the fruit are completely sealed, as if it has entered hibernation and is waiting to be awakened. In this process, if there is a slight mistake, such as excessive temperature fluctuations, the fruit will change color or even lose its nutritional value, just like dancing on a tightrope, which requires precise control. Drug production is even more like walking on thin ice. Some biological agents are extremely difficult to preserve, and the freeze dryer must complete the freezing in a very s...
