This involves freezing the candy and then removing all of its water and moisture, leaving behind only pure sugar crystals. As a result of this process, the candies usually expand in size, become lighter in colour, and acquire a crunchier texture. The process does not affect the candy's nutritional value but tends to make its flavor more intense and sweeter, due to the concentration of the sugar and flavor after the water is removed. Commercially, candies are freeze-dried using a specialized machine that first flash-freezes the candies and then creates a vacuum to remove all the air and moisture. This freeze-drying technique results in candies that have a longer shelf life (up to 25 years) and do not require refrigeration, making them a convenient option for certain applications, like travel snacks.
