Survival food products comprise of two types: freeze-dried and dehydrated.

Definition for Freeze-dried – To preserve a subtance, such as food, by freezing it rapidly and placing it in a vacuum chamber, where the water frozen in the substance evaporates through sublimation.  This process is also known in it’s technical jargon as lyophilization.

Definition for Dehydration – Food preserved by a commercial food dehydrator using a heat source and air flow to reduce the water content of foods. The water content of food is usually very high, typically 80% to 95% for various fruits and vegetables and 50% to 75% for various meats. Removing moisture from food restrains various bacteria from growing and spoiling food.  The key to successful food dehydration is the application of a constant temperature and adequate air flow.
