Hurdle Technology Preserved Fruits

Introduction

These high moisture fruits retain their fresh appeal and are processed using a combination preservation (hurdle technology) technique from tropical and semi-tropical fruit slices. The product remains microbiologically safe and has high acceptance. The process of preparing and processing these fruits is less energy intensive. These can be used in lieu of more expensive traditionally canned fruits. They can be consumed either as such or as part of various custard and porridge-like preparations.
