Introduction
Raspberries are among the most fragile commercial fruits, with a very short fresh shelf life and high susceptibility to mold and physical damage. Lyophilization solves both problems while preserving the bright red color and tart-sweet flavor.
The hollow-druplet structure of raspberries lyophilizes particularly well, producing a light crisp piece that holds its visual integrity in dry applications and rehydrates rapidly in wet ones.
The intense color and flavor of freeze-dried raspberry support low inclusion levels in finished products, making the ingredient cost-effective in applications such as chocolate bars and premium granola where small visible inclusions deliver strong impact.
Anthocyanin content varies by cultivar and growing conditions, with darker red varieties typically delivering higher pigment and a deeper color contribution in finished applications.
