ABSTRACT:
It has been found that dried fruits can be prepared without resorting to sulfiting the fruits in order to prevent the discoloration of the fruit and to prevent microbiological deterioration of the fruit. It has been found that through the utilization of a combination of vacuum and particular infusion soaking solution containing a sugar having more than six carbon atoms, an acid, a microbiological agent and optionally a chelating agent that utilizing a particular sequence of treating steps, a dried fruit that is not discolored and which has good taste can be prepared and can undergo long term storage. That is, the packaged product will have a reasonably long shelf life and taste and appearance.
