International buyers are increasingly concerned about the integrity of supply chains, especially food safety and compliance with quality standards. In emerging markets such as Russia and Eastern Europe where the demand for high-quality ingredients with clean labels is increasing, this focus is even more acute. Fujian Lixing Food Co. Ltd. is a global freeze-dried apples Factory, sublimated and frozen food producer. They are at the forefront in this commitment to quality.

I. I. Industry Trends and Prospects: The Lyophilization Revolution

Health-Driven Snacks: Consumers' relentless search for healthier snacks is driving the freeze-dried fruits industry. Freeze-dried apple snacks are a great alternative to processed, less healthy snacks. The lyophilization (vacuum-sublimation drying), preserves natural sugars, fiber and nutrients in fresh apples, while providing a crisp and airy texture, as well as a longer shelf life.

Versatility of Formulation: The popularity of freeze-dried apple products is increasing, not only as an ingredient but also for direct snacking. Apple powders and pieces are being added to breakfast cereals, instant oats, granola bar mixes, yogurt inclusions and functional beverage mix. The ingredient's low-moisture content and stable taste profile make it a versatile addition to a wide range of food products.

Traceability and Clean Label: Transparency is a non-negotiable in the food industry. Retail brands and consumers prioritize suppliers that can trace products back to their raw materials and provide products that meet the "clean label" (minimal and recognizable ingredients) criteria. This trend is supported by freeze-drying because it's a physical process rather than chemical, and relies solely on apples of high quality.

Expansion of Global Markets to High-Growth Areas: The markets in Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Commonwealth of Independent States are demonstrating a strong purchasing power, and a growing openness towards imported high-quality foods. World Food Moscow is a vital platform for Lixing and other suppliers to build trust and partnerships with these growing regions.

These factors, especially for items such as apples, combine to make the freeze-dried foods sector a very promising area of the global food industry.
