How is the dried fruit business in Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka is a tropical country. As a tropical island country, it has abundant fruit resources. The types of fruits in Sri Lanka include banana, mango, durian, avocado, jackfruit, pineapple, etc. Sri Lanka has a large amount of fruit, but the timeliness of fresh fruit is limited. Therefore, many farmers will store or sell fresh fruits as dried fruits. The dried fruit made by drying can not only maintain the nutrition of the original fruit but also has a different flavor after air-drying.
What are the production processes of dried fruit?
Dried fruit production processes generally include four types, including sun drying, machine drying, freeze-drying, and vacuum microwave drying.
Sun-drying is the cheapest way to make dried fruits, but it has higher requirements for natural weather.
Drying with a fruit dryer can strictly control the humidity and temperature. Modern dried fruit is usually processed in this way.
Freeze drying is also called lyophilization. The freeze-drying method can keep the color and freshness of the fruit very well. But the cost of this method is relatively high.
Vacuum microwave drying can better retain the flavor, less nutrient loss, less color change, and a faster drying rate. This fruit drying method requires high equipment and has not been widely commercialized.
