Extraction: Fresh oranges are selected and juiced to obtain the liquid orange juice. The juice is then collected and filtered to remove any pulp or solid particles, resulting in a clear and smooth liquid.
Freezing: The liquid orange juice is rapidly frozen to very low temperatures. Flash freezing helps to preserve the integrity of the juice and prevents the formation of large ice crystals.
Vacuum Chamber: The frozen orange juice is placed in a vacuum chamber. This creates an environment where the ice in the orange juice transitions directly from a solid state to a gaseous state, a process known as sublimation.
Sublimation: Sublimation occurs when a solid substance (in this case, ice) transforms directly into a gas without going through the liquid phase. The low pressure in the vacuum chamber allows the ice crystals in the frozen orange juice to vaporize, leaving behind freeze-dried orange solids.
Moisture Removal: As the ice crystals sublimate, the moisture is removed from the orange juice. This process dehydrates the juice, transforming it from a frozen state to a dry and lightweight powder. The low pressure and controlled temperature ensure that the moisture is effectively removed, while the flavor and nutritional properties are preserved.
Milling and Sieving: Once the freeze-drying process is complete, the freeze-dried orange solids are usually milled or ground into a fine powder. The powder may then be passed through sieves to achieve the desired particle size distribution and remove any larger particles.
