Cherry Tomato Freeze Drying with an H Series Machine40 seconds · Self-hosted SJ H Series footage
Video summary and viewing notes
Cherry tomatoes are shown during an H Series freeze-drying example and as a porous finished product. Skin resistance, cutting or perforation, fruit size, tray depth, and internal endpoint checks are important when developing a tomato recipe.
Why cherry tomato preparation matters
The skin can restrict vapour flow, while fruit size and maturity vary within a lot. Trials should compare whole, cut, or otherwise prepared formats and check internal dryness rather than only the surface.
- Sort by size and ripeness
- Record preparation and weight per tray
- Check representative center pieces from different tray locations
- Validate moisture-barrier packaging for the intended storage period
