Production
We are proud that, STYMON Natural Products is the first in Greece to use the high technology of lyophilization (freeze drying) for the production of high quality ingredients for applications in the food, nutraceutical and cosmetics sector.
The lyophilization (freeze drying) process, respects the quality and the specificities of each fruit. We believe that, in nature all ingredients are essential, so we try to use the whole raw material as much as possible to reduce waste. The solid part of the fruit is used in food, nutraceutical and cosmetic sectors. The cellular water removed from the fruits, is used in cosmetic products.
The process of removing the cellular water, allows us to remove almost all the water contained in the fruit. Typically, 10 kg of fresh fruit yields about 1 kg of lyophilized (freeze dried) products. The process is completely natural and the final product is stable without preservatives or additives. This is why our products keep all their nutrients intact. The extracted cellular water can be used in cosmetics. The lyophilized (freeze dried) fruits can be used immediately in any application.
