freezing,
preservation with honey,
adsorption,
lyophilization.
After freezing, the Drone Larvae retain all their properties, but there are problems during transportation, as it is inadmissible to thaw and freeze the product again. When preserved with honey, the homogenate will retain its properties if no more than 10% of the product is added to the honey. When adsorption to the adsorbent (a mixture of lactose and glucose), no more than 7-10% of Drone milk is also added.
The method of lyophilization of Drone Brood Homogenate is not as well known as the previous ones. At home, it is impossible to preserve the product by lyophilization, as it requires special equipment. Therefore, lyophilized Drone homogenate is somewhat more expensive than frozen, adsorbed or mixed with honey. But it is worth it. After freezing (at -300C) and drying in a vacuum unit, the product retains all its properties, does not contain any additives and preservatives, and most importantly can be stored at room temperature. And the shelf life of the product increases up to two years. Lyophilization method is used in the manufacture of many medical drugs, as well as for long-term storage, fungi, viruses and bacteria.
