Key points of pre-processing of apple slices
Selection of raw materials: choose the fruits with dense flesh, high sugar content, thin skin and thick flesh, and fully mature fruits, and remove rotten and disabled fruits.
Raw material treatment: In order to remove the pesticides on the peel, the fruit is washed with running water. Peel and peel the fruit manually or mechanically, cut into 7-8 mm thick discs, and then put them in salt water.
Color protection: Put the cut apple slices in a solution of 3% to 5% saltwater to protect the color to avoid oxidation and browning.
If the fruit pieces are floating on the potion, they should be pressed with a cover curtain weight on the fruit pieces to ensure that the fruit pieces are completely immersed in the potion.
Operation points of post-drying treatment of apple slices
1. Drying: ①Drying room temperature: 60~80℃. ②Drying time: 5 to 10 hours. ③ Dehumidification: Always dehumidify during the drying process. ④During the drying process, it is necessary to prevent the temperature from fluctuating from high to low.
2. Selection of slices: The dried apples should be manually selected and trimmed. ①Trimming: Trim off the remaining seed nests, peels, mechanical scars, spots, pests, and diseases on the fruit slices. ②Selection: Remove the water slices (non-dried slices), paste slices, fragments, and dirty slices from the fruit slices, and remove impurities.
