Abstract: [Problem] There exists a need for salt-free/sugar-free Rosaceae fruits, such as apricots and plums, extracts thereof, and products utilizing these, that have good storage properties. [Solution] By bringing about self-digestion of fruit at 65° C. or below, preferably at 45 to 60° C., the organic acid concentration is improved, and solubilization of pectin is promoted, making possible the manufacture of salt-free self-digested fruits and extracts thereof having good physical properties and storage properties, as well as making possible the manufacture of salt-free processed food products, cosmetics, or fermented food products, utilizing salt-free seasonings containing comparable concentrations of pectin and organic acids, or these salt-free self-digested fruits and salt-free self-digested fruit extracts.
