# Freeze Drying: What it is and why we do it
03.08.2023 17:42
**How does Freeze Drying Work?**
The process of freeze drying starts by flash freezing the item to be dried. This is typically done by placing the item in a freezer; for example, our  at a temperature below -40 °C. Next, the machine applies a vacuum to the frozen item, which causes the moisture to sublimate, or go directly from a solid to a gas, bypassing the liquid state. The result is a flash frozen product that’s better preserved and less likely to develop contaminants or other issues. Biological materials (such as cells, tissues, and enzymes) are commonly freeze-dried for storage and transportation purposes. In the cannabis space freeze drying is used to dry flowers and bubble hash. This process can save processors a tremendous amount of time and help preserve terpenes and lock in flavor profiles.
**Why Freeze Dry?**
The key benefits of freeze drying are that it preserves the taste, texture, and nutritional value of biomass better than other preservation methods such as canning or dehydration. Freeze dried food can be stored for years without refrigeration and can be rehydrated quickly by simply adding water.
Besides that, freeze drying is much faster than conventional drying methods. Instead of traditional cannabis drying, which often takes days or weeks, freeze drying cannabis flowers can be completed in less than a day’s time! If you’re interested in freeze drying your cannabis hash, this can be completed in our Xiros Mikro in as little as ten hours.
* **Cuts drying times:** The entire freeze drying process takes 9–24 hours, while conventional drying can take several weeks to complete. Saving time is one of the most important advantages in the cannabis industry. With a freeze dryer you can dry and process your harvest much faster than if you were using the traditional drying methods of the past.
* **Prevents contamination:** Because freeze drying removes the need for a drying room, there is much less risk of issues like pest contamination. Freeze dryers also have the ability to control humidity levels and remove moisture that could promote the growth of mold or mildew.
* **Saves money and space:** Freeze dryers allow manufacturers to save on square footage and operational costs by eliminating the need for large drying rooms. Our Xiros Mikro small freeze dryer features various shelf configurations that make it easy for you to use your freeze dryer for more than one application.
* **Improves shelf life:** When stored properly, freeze dried products can have an extended shelf life that is much longer than what is achieved with conventional drying methods. The product will retain taste, texture and nutritional value even though it is being stored for extended periods of time.
**What is Best in a Freeze Dryer?**
**!**
There are a few things to look for, when choosing a freeze dryer for your processing needs. Consider the following before buying a freeze dryer:
* **CE marking:** indicates that a product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements. Make sure that any freeze dryer you purchase meets these standards to guarantee reliability and safety.
* **Pricing:** Depending on the size of the operation, freeze dryers can get expensive. At Holland Green Science, our Freeze dryers are both functional and affordable.  are commonly used across the globe for both pharmaceutical and recreational purposes.
* **Refrigerant:** Make sure you use an environment friendly refrigerant. At Holland Green Science we use ozone friendly R290 natural refrigerant for our Xiros Mikro freeze fryer. It Protects the environment with minimal carbon footprint and ultra-low GWP (Greenhouse Warming Potential).
* **Capacity:** Freeze dryers range in size and temperature, so you’ll need to be sure to choose the right one for your facility. The  is perfect for those working with minimal space in their labs. Our Xiros Mikro comes standard with nine shelves, but can easily be converted to a seven or five shelf unit with our interchangeable shelving systems. This allows you to fit biomass of all various sizes! The small freeze dryer also has an easy to load and low profile design and has been designed to run 24/7 with superior performance. When your production needs a bigger capacity, it’s common to get more Xiros Mikro units to enlarge your capacity.

# Product Review from CannaSoul Analytics / Psyga Bio Ltd. from Israel
19.01.2023 18:25
Holland Green Science is very proud to work together with one of the pioneers on medicinal cannabis knowledge, CannaSoul Israel. We were able to supply CannaSoul with our high-end lab extraction equipment to support the great work they do every day. Read below about the products they are currently using and the success they have achieved with Holland Green Science lab equipment.
Yaniv Lerenthal, VP of R&amp;D at Psyga Bio Ltd., spoke about our partnership by saying, “We at Psyga Bio Ltd. have recently acquired products from Holland Green Science for our
mushroom cultivation and research facility and have been using the equipment for a few months now. Generally, our impression of the equipment is positive. Everything is nicely designed with an easy user interface and high durability. All the equipment was packed thoroughly and arrived in a timely manner and fully intact.”
Among the products used by CannaSoul, Yaniv felt that the ones listed below are worth mentioning in a more detailed review.
**The Aqua Vitae 5L Performance Pack**
The Holland Green Science Aqua Vitae 5L Performance Pack includes everything you need for efficient solvent evaporation with electronic process control at a package price.
The performance pack consists of the following products:
● Aqua Vitae Maximus 5L Rotary Evaporator
● Aeolus Vacuum Controller
● Aquilon Chiller
● Zephyrus Chemistry Diaphragm Vacuum Pump
● Hose Pack Kit
***The CannaSoul review,***
*“​​This is a good Rotary Evaporator system for up to 2 Liter flask volume, with a high-performance* *chiller and an easy-to-use controller. Assembling the system was easy and did not require use* *of the manual. The vacuum pump is robust (Zephyrus Midi) and was able to easily reach and* *maintain the 40-50 mbar needed for our process. The Aeolus Vacuum controller is user friendly* *and responsive. Overall, a good cost effective Rotary Evaporator system.”*
*!*
**The Hephaestus V094 Vacuum Oven**
The Hephaestus vacuum oven is designed for drying and vacuum purging materials which are thermosensitive, oxidative or easily decomposable. This includes cannabis flower just as much as shatter or isolates. To further reduce oxidation e.g. to protect THCa you can purge or vent the oven with inert gas to displace any oxygen present.
*“This is a mid-range vacuum oven with 4 shelves that are connected to heating apparatus* *making the temperature evenly distributed throughout the chamber. The sensors are giving a* *read per shelf, which is informative to keeping the temperature stable. Controller and setup are* *simple and user friendly which is a common theme for all Holland Greens equipment.* *The oven is mounted on wheels which makes moving it around easy if needed. We connected* *the oven to a diaphragm pump which handled the vacuum easily and dried small samples* *quickly. When overloading the oven with wet mushroom material the humidity was too high and* *condensed moisture appeared which had to be purged out by opening air flow. The system is* *nicely designed and works perfectly when not overloaded. The Holland green science technical* *support engineer recommended replacing the pump for better performance.”*
**The Thermotita 20L Water Bath**
The Thermotita is a perfect water bath to help regulate the temperature of cannabis crude, oils, tinctures and distillates. It has a stainless steel lid that allows for easy cleaning and an LCD screen for simple control of the bath.
*“This water bath has a nice design and easy controller setup. The water bath has a drain hose* *for easy clean and replacement of cooling fluid (as does the Holland greens chillers.) The head* *cover is design to shift all condensed vapor to the side with hardly any loss of water during long* *incubation. adding a shaking apparatus or a magnetic stirring option would be a great addition* *for our uses.”*
