Preservation of fruits: shelf-stable high moisture peach halves
Fruits and vegetables are nutritious, valuable foods full of flavour. Therefore, fruits and vegetables represent an important and in many case an under-appreciated resource, which could benefit from better utilization and exploitation in the rural communities. However, in low-income countries, poor care and handling of these crops frequently result in loss of quality, especially when not consumed immediately. The technique for shelf-stable high moisture content peach halves permits the use of the product for up to four months after harvesting. It can be used as-is, or as bulk for off-season processing, in bakery goods, confectionery and dairy products.
