How Are Meats Freeze Dried?
Freeze drying starts with flash-freezing food in a vacuum chamber at -50 to -60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Then, low-level heat is then applied to evaporate any ice crystals, removing about 98% of moisture.
Why Freeze Dry Dog Food For Pets?
Flash-frozen foods keep without preservatives, additives or chemicals.
In fact, freeze dried meat retains its vitamin, mineral and fat content.
Furthermore, the process of freeze drying does less harm to the meat than heat-based preservation methods.
Additionally, conventional cooking reduces amino acids, denatures peptides, alters flavors and aromas, and decomposes vitamins and fatty acids.
Freeze dried meat also retains many of the properties of raw meat.
Also, freeze drying meat decreases oxidation, so it is shelf-stable for a longer period of time than other preserved products.
How Long Does Freeze Dried Food Stay Fresh?
PET | TAO freeze dried dog food lists 18 months on the bags, as long as the unopened bag is kept at low humidity.
