Gevriesdroogde dierenvoeding
Dierenbezitters willen allemaal het beste voor hun geliefde huisvrienden, en door de toenemende welvaart in veel delen van de wereld kent de populariteit van gevriesdroogde voeding voor honden en katten als premium product een duidelijke stijging. Dit geldt met name voor rauwe voeding, die steeds meer wordt gezien als een gezonder alternatief voor gekookte producten omdat het de natuurlijke voedingswaarden behoudt en minder zout en additieven bevat.
Why producers are turning to freeze drying as the future of seafood preservation
Freeze drying – referred to in certain markets as vacuum drying - enables the consumer to enjoy high-quality fish and shellfish with maximum shelf life and minimal preparation. By removing moisture at low temperatures using sublimation, freeze drying locks in flavor, nutrients and texture without the need for refrigeration or additives. It's the natural solution for seafood manufacturers and brands seeking to reduce waste, extend shelf life and protect product integrity.
Why freeze drying?
Freeze-dried seafood delivers wide-ranging benefits:
- Maximum retention of aroma, color, shape and healthy components
- Instant re-hydration
- Stable products with long shelf life
- Reduced food waste
- No need for cold chain distribution
- Low weight and easy handling reduces shipping costs.
