Freeze-dried.
Do you mean lysophilized which means freeze dried?
Ha Ha, synchro-posting-ism QM!

I don't believe there actually is a version with 's' as third letter, J2B, given the Greek origin of the word, which is 'lye' meaning 'separation'.

Yes, these instances of synchrography will keep on happening! All part of AnswerBank life's rich tapestry, I guess. Cheers

QM, I can't find a dictionary with it in but I remember using it (the word and the process) at work and college (I was a biochemist) and if you google it, it comes up with lots of science based articles alluding to freeze dried stuff. Funny how lysophilis(z)ation doesn't come up with any matches but lyophilis(z)ation does. Maybe they are varients of each other. Or, more likely, it is a common mistake that I and others have made... Oh well. Whatever, it means freeze dried. Glad your still posting QM! Good health yourself.
