Why are freeze-dried banana slices more popular when they are the same?

Freeze-dried banana chips are light and crispy dried fruits made by vacuum freeze-drying technology (referred to as freeze-drying), which can retain the nutrition, flavor and color of fresh bananas to the greatest extent. No additional sugar or oil is added, making them a healthy high-end snack and baking ingredient

I. Manufacturing Process

The core of freeze-drying is low-temperature vacuum sublimation dehydration, and the entire process takes approximately 24 hours

1Selection and cleaning: Choose fresh bananas that are 7-80% ripe and free of black spots. Peel and remove the seeds.

2Slice color protection: Cut into 5-7mm thin slices. L-cysteine can be selected for color protection and anti-browning.
3Pre-freezing: Freeze at -30℃ for 4 hours to ensure that all moisture turns into ice crystals.
4Vacuum sublimation (one-time drying) : With a vacuum degree of less than 10Pa and a temperature of -15℃, ice crystals are directly sublimated to remove most of the free water.
5Desorption drying (secondary drying) : Heat to 40-60℃, remove bound water, and reduce the moisture content to below 5%.
6Outbound packaging: Sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof. Can be stored at room temperature for 12 months.

Ii. Senses and Texture

Appearance: Natural milky yellow/golden yellow, porous and loose honeycomb-like, with slightly expanded volume.

Taste: Extremely light and crispy, melts in the mouth, without the greasy feeling of being fried, and is fluffier than being dried.

Flavor: Rich and natural banana sweetness, with a hint of caramel aroma, close to the flavor of fresh fruits.

Iii. Nutritional Components (Per 100g)

Freeze-drying retains over 90% of the nutrients in fresh fruits, free of trans fats and cholesterol.
