Description

Technical Parameters

Tabletop Freeze Dryer is a small freeze drying equipment, mainly used in laboratories, small production lines or scientific research institutions. The working principle of the freeze dryer is to use low temperature air to evaporate the water and remove the water in the material. Specifically, it first freezes the material to be processed in a low-temperature environment to crystallize the moisture in it; then under vacuum conditions, it increases the temperature to sublimate the moisture and transforms the solid moisture into gaseous state, so as to obtain the dried material.

As an efficient laboratory drying equipment, bench freeze-dryer has been widely used in many fields. Its characteristics and advantages of efficient drying, maintaining material quality and easy operation make it an indispensable sample handling tool in laboratories. In the selection and use of desktop freeze-dryer, users should fully consider the experimental needs, equipment performance, brand reputation and other factors to ensure the experimental effect and equipment service life.

Freeze-Dried Ginger Slices

 

The experiment on freeze-dried ginger slices is a process involving multiple steps and parameter optimization aimed at producing high quality dried ginger slices by vacuum technique.

1. Objectives

To explore and determine the optimal tabletop freeze dryer process conditions for ginger slices by vacuum technology in order to preserve the nutrients and flavor of ginger and at the same time to obtain ideal drying results.

2. Principle

Vacuum freeze-drying technology is based on the principle of water sublimation, i.e., the water in the material is directly sublimated from solid state to gaseous state under the low-temperature and low-pressure environment, so as to avoid the loss of nutrients and quality degradation that may be caused by traditional drying methods.

3. Materials
  • Ginger: fresh, pest-free, good quality ginger.
  • Vacuum freeze-drying machine: such as LGJ-10 type, used for vacuum experiments.
  • Slicing tools: such as slicer or knife for cutting ginger into uniform thin slices.
  • Other auxiliary materials: such as trays, label paper, etc.
4. Steps
  • Ginger pretreatment:

Select fresh ginger and remove the outer skin and undesirable parts.
Cut the ginger into thin slices of uniform thickness, the thickness can be adjusted according to the experimental needs, such as 2mm or 6mm, etc.

  • Pre-freezing:

Place the cut ginger slices in a pre-freezing chamber for pre-freezing. The pre-freezing temperature is usually low, e.g. -36℃ or -40℃, and the duration depends on the thickness of the ginger slices and the performance of the freezing equipment, e.g. 2 hours.

  • Vacuum freeze-drying:

Put the pre-frozen ginger slices into the drying chamber of the vacuum freeze dryer.
Set the parameters such as the pressure of the drying chamber and the temperature of the heating plate to optimize them according to the experimental requirements. For example, the drying chamber pressure can be set to 45 Pa and the heating plate temperature can be set to 50°C.
Start the vacuum freeze dryer to carry out the drying process. The drying time depends on the thickness of the ginger slices and the drying conditions, which may be up to tens of hours.

  • Post-drying treatment:

After drying is completed, remove the ginger slices for post-treatment, such as removing impurities, grading and packaging.

5. Results and Analysis
  • By adjusting the parameters such as the pressure of the drying chamber, the temperature of the heating plate and the thickness of the slices of ginger, the drying effect and quality change of ginger slices under different process conditions can be observed.
  • The optimal process conditions are usually derived from several experiments and data analysis, such as the drying chamber pressure of 45 Pa, the heating plate temperature of 50 ℃, and the slice thickness of ginger slices of 6 mm.
  • By comparing the quality of ginger slices dried by hot air drying and vacuum freeze-drying, it can be found that the vacuum freeze-drying method can better retain the nutrients and flavor of ginger.

 Preparation of the sample should expand its surface area as much as possible, which shall not contain acid and alkali substances and volatile organic solvents. The sample must be completely frozen into ice, if any residual liquid will cause gasification injection. Note that the cold trap is about -65 degrees Celsius, which can be used as a low-temperature refrigerator, but it must be operated with insulated gloves to prevent frostbite.

 

 Start the chiller and pre-cool for more than 30 minutes. Put the sample into the sample rack, cover the organic glass cover, and start the vacuum pump. After the air pressure digital display is stabilized, record the temperature and air pressure values.

  the sample in the freezing process, the temperature is gradually reduced, you can take out the sample back to warm up for a period of time to continue drying, in order to shorten the drying time.   turn off the refrigeration machine, press and hold the main switch key for more than three seconds, and finally turn off the main power switch. Wait for the ice in the cold trap completely into water, open the water outlet valve on the left side of the chassis to release water, and use a dry cloth to clean the inside wall of the cold trap, covered with a large sheet of filter paper to prevent dust.
