    Notes: A large-scale sealed system for freeze-drying herbage is described. It utilizes the principle of sorption drying and is dependent upon the vapour pressure differential (VPD) between the herbage and the silica gel drying agent. Ice sublimes to vapour from the sample in a system operating at approximately – 10°C and the vapour is adsorbed by silica gel in an air stream recycled by a blower; equal masses (up to 50 kg each) of wet herbage and silica gel are used. The system is simple to construct and is relatively inexpensive.Approximately eight days drying time are needed to reduce moisture content from 90 to 10%. Twenty-four different species or cultivars of both temperate and tropical grasses and legumes sampled at several stages of maturity have been dried in the system. When snap-frozen herbage is freeze-dried by this process the physical and chemical changes that otherwise occur when herbage is harvested and prepared for evaluation can be reduced and sufficient material can be obtained to permit animal feeding studies as well as chemical analyses.

    A system for rapid freezing of pasture samples in the field (1984)

    Notes: A system for rapid freezing and containment of pasture and forage samples in the field is described. Core temperatures of pasture samples of 2–5 kg mass can be reduced to below 0°C in a few minutes using liquified carbon dioxide in the ratio of 1 to 2 kg carbon dioxide to 1 kg of green plant material. Changes in the pH of the plant extract were very small (ca. 0 1 pH unit). The system is especially suitable for use in areas remote from normal laboratory facilities, where rapid freezing of herbage samples is essential.
