Freeze-drying is not a synonym for air-drying. They are two different transformation processes, even though the final aim is the same: to remove water to allow the fruit to be preserved for a long time.
How does it work? Freeze-drying is the dehydration under a high vacuum of a previously frozen material, the fruit is subjected to immediate thermal blasting down to – 60°C, the temperature at which the ice sublimates, i.e., it passes from a solid state to a vapour state without changing to a liquid state.
