A novelty on the floristry market: Sublimated flowers.

The specialty of ID Flowers sublimated flowers – recovery during rehydration during 50 years.

During freeze drying, in the vacuum of space, moisture and oxygen evaporate very slowly and carefully from the plants. Moreover, moisture evaporation occurs at minus temperatures, frozen moisture turns into ice vapor bypassing the liquid state! This is a feature of freeze drying.

Always at the first stage, very fresh flowers are instantly frozen to -44°C, then, are slowly dried in Bulova freeze dryers, or rather – are sublimated (lyophilized) at sub-zero temperatures for several days. This is a long and complicated process!

Lyophilization process (or freeze drying) preserves not only the initial shape of the plant, but also the integrity of cells and peptide bonds in it. Essentially, this is preservation by dehydration.
The most valuable substances are usually subjected to freeze drying, and not only plants, and enzymes, blood, squirrels, in which all trace elements and cell integrity must be preserved!
That is why the lyophilized product is completely restored during rehydration and acquires all the properties of the original living product! ®

This is the main feature of sublimated products using the sublimation drying technology of ID Flowers and, of course, sublimated flowers from IDeal Flowers, which are dried by lyophilization: plant when filled with water (rehydration), (it is enough to put the flower in water or fill it with cold steam), will come to life again and acquire all the properties of a fresh living plant!
Even through 50 years bouquet from “IDeal-flowers” ® can easily be turned into a living bouquet and please on the anniversary with a fresh bouquet from the past! Your bouquet of flowers will come to life in time!

Lyophilization (or sublimation ) is a dehydration process (drying) products by quick freezing in a vacuum, where moisture evaporates, bypassing the liquid phase, and passes into a gaseous state.
Substances are released from water (plant juice) turning this liquid into a solid form, freezing, and water (during lyophilization) turns into steam, when vacuum is applied to frozen material, these vapors are removed from the air above the frozen material without heat.
Essentially: As is known,matter has three states: liquid, solid and vapor (we do not take plasma into account), under the influence of heat (temperature) these states are transformed.
There is a "Triple Point" at a certain temperature and pressure, in which liquid (water or flower juice) are in three states at the same time (existing, liquid and vapor) with all their physical states.
For example: flower water at temperature: 0,01° C and vapor pressure 611,73 Pa will move to a point of equilibrium with all three physical states. I (principle of lyophilization) with a slight decrease in temperature and pressure (or increasing vacuum) - water turns into steam at sub-zero temperatures, without turning into a liquid state.

Sublimated flowers will retain their beauty, color and smell for many years even when dried (lyophilized) in the form!
This freeze-dried flowers from “IDeal-flowers” different from dried flowers (dried flowers in the air) and stabilized flowers (chemically treated).
And in lyophilized ones (sublimated) in flowers, all cells are alive, their internal structure is not disturbed. They are preserved by the cold and remain alive, they can always be revived.
