Best Answer

Under reduced pressure, under carefully controlled conditions, ice sublimes - it goes straight from ice to vapour - no liquid water. It is very useful for drying almost anything, but especially for anything that would be damaged by heating or boiling the water off. That is vacuum freeze drying - the name is often used without the "vacuum" included.
