Dry ice is the solid form of carbon dioxide (CO 2), a molecule consisting of a single carbon atom bonded to two oxygen atoms. Dry ice is colorless, odorless, and non-flammable, and can lower the pH of a solution when dissolved in water, forming carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3). [1]
The primary purpose of freeze drying within the food industry is to extend the shelf-life of the food while maintaining the quality. [1] Freeze-drying is known to result in the highest quality of foods of all drying techniques because structural integrity is maintained along with preservation of flavors. [ 1 ]

Freezing is a common method of food preservation that slows both food decay and the growth of micro-organisms. Besides the effect of lower temperatures on reaction rates, freezing makes water less available for bacteria growth. Freezing is a widely used method of food preservation. Freezing generally preserves flavours, smell and nutritional ...
Frozen products do not require any added preservatives because microorganisms do not grow when the temperature of the food is below −9.5 °C (15 °F), which is sufficient on its own in preventing food spoilage. Long-term preservation of food may call for food storage at even lower temperatures.
There has been continuous optimization of the freezing rate in mechanical freezing to minimize ice crystal size. [2] Flash freezing techniques are also used to freeze biological samples quickly so that large ice crystals cannot form and damage the sample. [5] This is done by submerging the sample in liquid nitrogen or a mixture of dry ice and ...
A freeze-dried Ice cream sandwich in a bag. Freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream, shown with air-tight foil partially unwrapped. Freeze-dried ice cream, also called astronaut ice cream or space ice cream, is ice cream that has had most of the water removed from it by a freeze-drying process. Compared to regular ice cream, it can be kept at room ...
Various dried foods in a dried foods store An electric food dehydrator with mango and papaya slices being dried. This is a list of dried foods. Food drying is a method of food preservation that works by removing water from the food, which inhibits the growth of bacteria and has been practiced worldwide since ancient times to preserve food ...
