Abrégé

The invention relates to a method for defrosting frozen food products initially present in the form of individually frozen products (IQF) or in the form of at least one block of food products agglomerated inside the enclosure of a mixer (11), said method comprising the steps of: injecting water vapour into the enclosure so as to cause, if necessary, the dissociation of the food products of the at least one block and/or to soften the surface of the blocks or IQF products, the total quantity of vapour injected being lower than or equal to 10% of the total weight of the products to be defrosted; and subjecting the food products to a vacuum evaporation process.

Abrégé

The present invention relates to a method for drying a food product, which comprises the step of: a) inserting the food product in an enclosure, the enclosure being defined by the vessel of a mixer; and b) drying the food product in the enclosure by applying a vacuum to the enclosure, in which method the supplying of heat to the product located inside the enclosure is carried out when the vacuum is applied to the enclosure during step b) such as to maintain and/or increase the temperature of said product during all or part of the process of drying by applying a vacuum to the enclosure, the supplying of heat being carried out by heat transfer between at least one heat-transfer fluid and the product and/or by irradiating said product with electromagnetic radiation.
