Effect of packaging on quality and shelf-life of osmo-air dried apricot.

Apricots, osmotically dehydrated (with sugar syrup) with a good consumer acceptability were developed and evaluated for their quality in different packages during storage at 13-28 deg C. The critical point for the storage of osmo-air dehydrated apricot was at 60% relative humidity with 12.5% equilibrium moisture content (EMC) whereas the optimum equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) was found to be 48% at 8.51% EMC. Over the 6 months study, the quality of dried fruit deteriorated significantly in polyethylene and glass jars during storage, however, a minimum change in chemical composition and sensory attributes was observed in laminated pouches. At the same time laminated pouches were attractive and convenient to handle and distribute.
