Helpful Hints
Homemade OJ should not foam up in the freeze drying process like store bought Orange Juice. If you are attempting a concentrate or store purchased OJ, water it down before freeze drying and it will help it to not foam up. Once done, run through a food processor to make a smooth consistency.
Cycle Time
My cycle time typically runs 30-40 hr in large freeze dryer with premium pump
Rehydration for 1 Glass
1/2 Cup Orange Juice Powder added to 1 cup water. This ratio can change depending on the oranges used.
* Large Tray = 8 Cups/tray Medium = 6 Cups/Tray Small = 4 Cups/Tray
Cycle times & rehydration for reference only. Your results may vary.
