Abstract
The effects of a two week cold storage period and fresh fruit characteristics on the quality of dried ‘Peeka’ apricots and ‘Elberta’ peaches were studied. The total soluble solids content of fresh apricots and peaches were both negatively correlated with the drying ratio. The ideal fresh size for production of large and extra-large dried apricots was 40 mm and larger, and for large dried peaches beteen 55 mm and 70 mm. Cold storage before drying had no detrimental effect on the quality of dried fruit and can be used effectively to extend the processing season.
