Patent

CA 2559380

The present disclosure provides ready-to-eat (RTE), shelf-stable processed foods composed of up to 100% fruit and the system and process for their manufacture. The product, system, and process uses dried fruit in some form as an in-feed material, having a higher moisture content than heretofore has been suitable for extruder in- feed ingredients, thus retaining at least a portion of the natural volatile materials that contribute to taste and aromas. Further, the dried fruit is extruded and can be dried into crispy, crunchy, chewy, or hard particles or pieces high in fruit content that heretofore have been unavailable, and the products and process can be independent of starch and grain based prior technology. The products of the present disclosure can be eaten as healthy snacks or used as high-fruit-content additives in RTE cereals, baking mixes, toppings, and other food products. The process provides a high degree of efficiency and reduced costs.
