About
Master. Innovate. Transform.
Cosmo Lyo is a company of freeze-drying in Quebec, established in Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. We transform fruits into dry ingredients and powders for bakeries, food manufacturers, retailers and partners who are looking for stable, precise and easy-to-integrate solutions.
Born in the heart of Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, COSMO LYO It brings together expertise in food, processing and process development. A single conviction guides our work: to preserve the identity of the fruit while creating practical, consistent ingredients adapted to the realities of professional production.
MASTER the science of fruit.
Our mission is to design, manufacture and supply Freeze-dried fruits and fruit powders adapted to professional needs. The fruit preparation, drying cycle, particle size and packaging are carefully considered according to the intended use, whether it be for a pastry creation, a dry mix, a food product or a format intended for resale.
INNOVATE to redefine the standards of freeze-drying.
We are developing our capabilities with the ambition of becoming a recognized partner in North America for freeze-dried ingredients and fruits. This progress is based on three priorities: continuously improving our methods, remaining accessible to the companies we support, and building an offering capable of evolving with their volumes and markets.
TRANSFORM sustainably shape the future of food.
Beyond the technical aspects, we aim to transform food constraints into opportunities for development. Freeze-drying can enhance the value of fruit, extend its shelf life, and facilitate its integration into new formulations. Our role is to convert the potential of raw materials into stable and high-performing solutions, while remaining attentive to the commercial and operational objectives of each partner.
Expertise in freeze-drying in Quebec
Our freeze-drying expertise in Quebec is based on a thorough understanding of fruit, its reactions to drying, and its behavior after processing. Each raw material has its own unique water content, structure, acidity, and natural sugar concentration. These differences influence the preparation, cycle duration, grinding, and methods for protecting the product from moisture.
Understanding the raw material
We adapt the preparation to the fruit and the desired result. The goal is not to apply a single recipe, but to choose consistent parameters to obtain a dry, stable product that meets the intended use.
Adapt the format to the application
Whole fruits, pieces, fine powders, or professional formats: the product's form must serve the recipe, the process, the dosage, and the production rate. This logic guides our discussions with pastry chefs, manufacturers, and retailers.
Supporting development
We prefer a direct relationship to understand the final product, potential volumes, and timeline. Testing then allows us to validate the flavor, color, texture, and behavior before planning production.
This regional and collaborative approach allows us to support both initial validation and projects destined to grow. Consult our freeze-drying and powdering technology, then use the form to request professional samples when you want to test the Cosmo Lyo ingredients in your own application.
