Infrared drying in technology of dried fruit from macrocarpous purple cherry plum

The application of infrared drying in the technology of production of dried fruit from macrocarpous purple cherry plum has been described in the paper. The employment of large-fruited purple cherry plum as the main raw material of the Turkestan region in the production of dried fruits has been scientifically substantiated. Analyzes of large-fruited purple cherry plum have proved the need of infrared drying for production of dried fruit. The technology of dried fruits from large-fruited red-violet cherry plum has been developed. Infrared drying was carried out in one stage at a temperature of 40-60°C for 5-6 hours when the moisture content of the dried cherry plum reached 15-16%. Samples of a valuable and healthy dried fruit from a large-fruited purple cherry plum with an improved appearance and a high content of useful macro- and microelements have been obtained. The developed technology will expand the assortment of dried fruit.
