ABSTRACT:
A process for infusion-drying carrots comprises immersing the carrots in a circulating bath of infusion syrup, the infusion syrup comprising water and infusion solids, the infusion solids comprising at least 20 weight percent corn syrup and the balance, if any, sugar, until the carrots attain a Brix from about 25 degrees to about 50 degrees, separating the infused carrots from the infusion syrup, and drying the infused carrots, by directing a stream of hot air over and through the infused carrots, the hot air having a temperature from about 140 degrees F. to about 200 degrees F., until the infusion-dried carrots attain a water activity from about 0.30 to about 0.63.
