Freeze drying breastmilk into powder is completed through an activity called sublimation. Freeze drying is unique of dehydrating, which uses very good heat and is relatively faster. With freeze drying, ‘low and slow'could be the name of the game to safeguard precious nutrients. Water within your breastmilk is removed using low temperatures and pressure systems.
Here's How We Freeze Dry Your Breastmilk:
Deep Freeze Your frozen breastmilk is placed inside a chamber where temperatures drop to below -40ºF. Pressure Drop Air within the chamber is removed using a pump, dropping the pressure and developing a vacuum. Drying Cycles of warmer and cooler air cause ice crystals inside the frozen breastmilk to vaporize (without thawing the breastmilk) leaving behind your nutrient dense, superfood breastmilk powder, a.k.a. Booby Food! Package Your freeze dried breastmilk powder is then packaged into convenient, resealable bags and ready to utilize, whenever, wherever! Our specially designed Booby Food bags protect against air, light, oxygen and moisture. We place a moisture absorber atlanta divorce attorneys package to help expand protect your Booby Food when going to more humid areas. Triple Clean, Disinfect & Sanitize Booby Food follows very strict health and safety guidelines set forth by Alberta Health Services, and goes above and beyond to prevent cross-contamination. This triple cleaning procedure is conducted after every single batch, even if exactly the same client has multiple batches to freeze dry.
For local pick-up – we come to you and also provide contactless pick up! You should not check your schedule and arrange for snacks, travel time or where the heck is that other baby shoe?
Your frozen breastmilk is then place in a temperature controlled cooler and taken to our Alberta Health Services approved facility for processing, following strict health and safety guidelines.
Nutrient retention is our main priority with Booby Food. Freeze drying is very different than standard ‘dehydrating'techniques. Dehydrating uses high temperatures to evaporate water molecules from room temperature foods. Heat destroys precious nutrients like vitamins and enzymes your baby needs to cultivate healthy and strong.
Booby Food only handles frozen breastmilk and the freeze-drying process uses extremely low temperatures ( only -40℉) and suprisingly low atmospheric pressure. This ensures your Booby Food doesn't thaw through the freeze drying process, which protects the powerhouse nutrients your child needs for a long time to come.
Your Booby Food is conveniently packed in 15 gram bags. These bags are extra thick, food grade Mylar (yup, same stuff the astronauts use!) designed to keep out moisture, oxygen and light. While Calgary, AB is a relatively dry climate, for added protection, we include a tiny moisture absorber for anyone in more humid climates.
