Osmo-dried products from fruits, vegetables
The Mysuru-based CSIR-CFTRI has a technology for producing osmo-dried products from fruits and vegetables.
At a cost of ₹80-180 per kg, such products come with a production capacity of 500 kgs a day. Mango, papaya, jackfruit, pineapple, carrot and amla can be osmo-dried with the technology.
“Osmo dried products are a good source of nutrients and energy as they have high calorific value. They are microbiologically safe and stable products with longer shelf lives. The technology helps retain the colour and flavour of the fruits or veggies,” said A.S. Chauhan, senior principal scientist, FVT, CFTRI.
The process involves slicing the fruits or vegetables, subjecting them to osmotic treatment and drying them at optimum temperature to avail an osmo-dried product.
