Title:

Fruit Rolls (Confectionery from fruit puree)

Value Proposition:

Fruit roll-up also known as fruit leather, is a type of confectionery made from fruit puree that has been dried into a thin, flexible sheet. To overcome the inherent defects of conventional drying methods and relate it to fruit roll-up drying, we have used Refrigeration Adsorption Dehumidified Dryer (RADD) customized in our institute and this fruit roll-up drying offers several advantages over conventional methods; by implementing the specific formulation and innovative drying technology, manufacturers can produce high-quality fruit roll-ups that meet consumer expectations for flavor, nutrition, and safety.
