Freeze Dry Masterclass

Suitable for: people who want to process Thai fruit, ready-to-eat meals (MRE) and healthy snacks Problems solved: products that are not crispy, collapse, change colour, or cost so much in electricity that they lose money What to bring: 1–2 raw materials you want to freeze-dry Your prototype: drying time depends on the raw material, and some take longer than the class. We assess what you want to make before the class and tell you how you will receive your prototype.

What you'll learn and do

• Machine Selection: how to choose a freeze dryer (Chinese vs European) that fits your budget

• Hands-on Workshop: setting up the machine (recipe setting) for high-sugar vs low-sugar fruit
