Vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) can be used for preserving food with small effects on nutritional qualities. VFD modelling is useful to select off-line the best operating conditions to avoid product overheating and reduce the drying time, thus saving energy.

By comparing the experimental drying time and product temperature, heat transfer coefficient and vapor diffusivity were estimated under different operating conditions.

Abstract

Vacuum freeze-drying (VFD) can be used for preserving food with small effects on nutritional qualities. VFD modelling is useful to select off-line the best operating conditions to avoid product overheating and reduce the drying time, thus saving energy. A 3D diffuse interface model was developed to simulate in-silico eggplant VFD. By comparing the experimental drying time and product temperature, heat transfer coefficient and vapor diffusivity were estimated under different operating conditions.
