Type of article: Periodical article, Review

Summary

Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilization, is a process in which water in the form of ice under low pressure is removed from a material by sublimation. This paper describes: (i) the main steps of the freeze-drying process, (ii) the problems and mechanisms of each step of the freeze-drying process, (iii) as well as the effects of process conditions and selected physical properties of freeze-dried materials, such as structural properties (shrinkage and density porosity), color, and texture.
