Design the process around the product

Remove water while protecting the qualities that make the ingredient valuable. 

Freeze Drying can support sensitive formulations by drying at low temperature and creating a porous finished structure. The outcome will depend on the formulations, cycle packaging and validated storage conditions.

Formulation- Led Development

A dry product is not automatically a stable products.

Probiotics, botanicals, enzymes and functional blends respond differently to freezing and vacuum pressures required for freeze drying. Test your product to see how your product holds up.

The process can service INGREDIENTS, INTERMEDIATES and finished formats

Nutraceuticals Applications Worth Evaluating 

Probiotics + Live Cultures

Culture concentrates and blends where viable count recovery and storage conditions can be measured.

Botanical Extracts

Berry, greens, mushroom and plant extracts for powders, blends or later formulation.

Enzymes + Proteins 

Sensitive functional ingredients where activity, structure and reconstitution must be evaluated.

Vitamin Containing Formulations

Liquids and compounded blends where low-temperature drying may support the finished format.

Specialty Nutrition

Functional blends, sports nutrition components and other high value ingredients for later processing. 

R & D Formulation Work

Pilot batches for excipient screening, process development, stability programs and scale up planning. 

Processing is not proof

Freeze drying can support stability. It does not establish it.

Potency, viable count, activity, shelf life and label claims require appropriate analytical testing and validation Equipment alone does not make a product or facility cGMP-compliant.

Commercial Freeze Drying equipment 

Scale from development batches to commercial production 

Use tested yield and cycle data to select equipment for the actual product volume, facility controls, staffing and production schedule.

Nutraceuticals Freeze Drying Questions

01.

Does Freeze Drying preserve every vitamin?

No universal claim is appropriate. Retention depends on the nutrient, formulation, oxygen and light exposure, process and storage conditions, so it must be tested.

02.

Can Parker equipment make a Product cGMP compliant?

Equipment can support a controlled process, but compliancy depends on the full facility, quality system, procedures, validation and intended use.

03.

What can make a formulation difficult to dry?

High sugar or solids, salts, oils, low collapse temperature, viscosity and incompatible carriers can affect structure, cycle time and recovery.
