ABSTRACT:
A process for preparing a flavored dried fruit product having a flavor which does not substantially correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit is provided. As a first step, a dried fruit is treated with an acidulant being selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, malic acid, citric acid, ascorbic acid, phosphoric acid, and fumaric acid in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to substantially remove the natural flavor of the dried fruit. As a second step, the treated dried fruit is then dehydrated to the desired moisture content. The dried fruit is treated during the first step or after the second step with a flavoring agent having a flavor which does not correspond to the natural flavor of the dried fruit. The flavoring agent is employed in an amount and for a period of time which is sufficient to impart to the dried fruit a flavor which is substantially the same as the flavoring agent.
