<![CDATA[Research on preparation of dried tropical fruit snacks,fruit leathers,has been conducted.there fruit snack formulations were developed i.e.(1)mixed fruit (banana,papaya,pineapple),(2)guava, and(3)mango.Product were treated with sodium meta bisulphite and strored for 0,1,2,and 3 months.Result show that the moisture content of product were descreased from 14.4%(0 mo)to 10.0%(3 mos),total sugar were descreased from 84.8%to 73.6%and total titratable acidity were relatively unchanged.Vitamin C content were descreased from 7.06(0 mo)to 6.08 mg/100gr (3 mos)for mixeed fruits,29.0 to 2.35 for guava and 5.13 to 4.11 for mango.Bacterial and mould content of samples were descreased during strorage.Microbial content of sulphite-treated samples were relatively lowered than untreated ones.Total bacteria were descreased from 200 CFU g-1 (0 mo) to CFU g-1 (3 mos),and the total mould were descreased from 350 CFU g-1 (o mo) to 5 CFU g-1 (3 mos. Organoleptic test showed that the taste,flavour, texture and colour of product were accepted by the panelists.Samples can be kept for three month without any significant changes.]]>
