See full technique reference →By manipulating water activity (a_w) below 0.3, these techniques inhibit microbial growth while maintaining protein integrity. Sublimation in freeze‑drying preserves volatile aromas, whereas microwave and infrared heating accelerate mass transfer with minimal thermal damage.
