INTRODUCTION
Preserving Quality at Every Stage.
The way an ingredient is processed plays a critical role in its quality, stability and suitability for its intended application.
At Grassland, we combine specialised freeze-drying technology with careful raw material handling and processing expertise to transform premium New Zealand ingredients into consistent, high-quality
finished products.
Our capabilities support manufacturers, brands and ingredient suppliers looking for dependable processing solutions, whether for individual raw materials or as part of a complete sourcing-to-export service.
WHY FREEZE-DRYING?
Preserve More of What Matters.
Freeze-drying, also known as lyophilisation, is a low-temperature dehydration process that removes moisture from raw materials while helping preserve their natural characteristics.
Unlike conventional heat-based drying methods, freeze-drying uses controlled freezing and vacuum conditions to remove water through sublimation, reducing exposure to high temperatures.
This makes it particularly well suited to sensitive ingredients where maintaining nutritional
characteristics, structure and overall ingredient quality is important.
Nutrient Preservation
Low-temperature processing helps retain heat-sensitive nutrients and naturally occurring compounds.
Ingredient Integrity
Gentle moisture removal helps preserve the natural characteristics and structure of raw materials.
Improved Stability
Reducing moisture content helps support ingredient stability and shelf life when appropriately
packaged and stored.
Consistent Quality
Controlled processing supports repeatable results and dependable ingredient characteristics.
Versatile Applications
Freeze-dried ingredients can be further processed into powders and other formats for use across a range of formulations.
Particle Size Requirements
Milling solutions designed to achieve suitable particle sizes for different product applications.
Powder Consistency
Controlled processing to support niformity and dependable finished ngredient characteristics. Application-Focused Processing Powder formats suited to applications such as capsules, tablets, blends and utritional formulations. Integrated Processing Freeze-drying and milling coordinated as part of a connected processing solution, reducing the need for multiple service providers.
MILLING CAPABILITIES
Precision Processing. Consistent Results.
Freeze-drying is only part of the journey. The way an ingredient is milled and finished is equally important to its performance in a final formulation.
Grassland's milling capabilities allow freeze-dried materials to be transformed into powdered ingredients suited to a range of manufacturing and product applications.
By considering particle size, powder consistency and intended use, we work with customers to achieve ingredient formats aligned with their processing requirements.
