  • Patent number: 4654222
    Abstract: An article of manufacture and process for making same are provided wherein selected fresh fruit or mixtures thereof may be peeled and/or cored, then made into a puree in a manner which preserves the fruits natural integrity, the peels being comminuted and optionally the core materials being further processed and finished whereafter from about 3 to 8% of the comminuted peels and optionally up to about 11% of the comminuted peels together with the processed core materials by wet weight is dried preferably under controlled atmospheric conditions, to produce a dried product having resistance to thermal set, shelf stability being readily reconstitutable to natural consistency and which does not contain any extraneous extenders, inorganic additives, or other unnatural or undesirable additives.

  • Patent number: 4587132
    Abstract: A process is provided for preparing a free-flowing, dried, pulped and finished fruit puree product in the form of flakes which are readily reconstitutable to the natural fruit puree consistency. The process comprises the steps of (1) preparing a fruit puree by pulping and finishing a fresh fruit so as to remove the skins and core materials therefrom: (2) adding an amount not more than about 11.0 wet weight percent crude fiber selected from the group consisting of fruit skins, fruit core materials free of seeds and pits, and mixtures thereof effective to render the fruit puree resistant to thermal set; (3) while maintaining the total sugar content of the puree at not more than about 80.0 percent and the ratio of the total sugar content to insoluble solids within the range of from about 5.0:1.0 to about 13.0:1.10; and (4) drying the fruit puree in the form of free-flowing flakes having resistance to thermal set.
