Pitting of fruit was done manually and KMS （0.2%） was added for bleaching. The fruit was pretreated using 4 levels of CaCl2 （Co = 0%, C1 = 1%, C2 = 1.5%, C3 = 2%） and stored in jars for 4 weeks. Thereafter, application of colour was done using Erythrosine （0.05%） followed by dipping pitted fruits in sugar syrup for 24 hours. The samples were treated with 4 levels of citric acid （To = 0%, Tl = 1%, T2 = 1.5%, T3 = 2%） and then concentrated subsequently till desired TSS of 70~ Brix was attained. The samples were dried in cabinet drier at 80 ±20 ℃till constant moisture was attained. The product was packed in polyethene pouches and stored under ambient storage conditions. Results revealed that there was gradual increase in reducing sugars （%）, total sugars （%） during storage while as moisture content （%） decreased. The product developed was found economically profitable and viable for commercial production.展开更多
