DRIED MANGO

INGREDIENTS EQUIPMENT/UTENSILS:

rareripe (carabao var.) mango stainless-steel knife
refined sugar mechanical drier
confectioner's sugar wire trays lined with sinamay or cheesecloth
sodium metabisulfite (or stove and LPG
combination of sodium
erythorbate and citric acid), food grade

PACKAGING MATERIAL:

OPP or PE plastic bags of 0.003 mm thickness

PROCEDURE:

1. Wash mangoes to remove surface dirt.
2. Peel mangoes using stainless steel peeler; slice along its lateral axis from both sides of the middle seed section, and cut the cheeks into pieces with a thickness of approximately 1.5 cm.
3. Add white sugar (50% by weight) to mango slices. The sugar is allowed to melt in the mangoes. (Another method of syruping is by quick process in which a mixture of 50 parts sugar and 50 parts water is heated and added to the mango slices.)
4. Heat the mangoes until the slices become translucent. Cool.
5. Add 0.1% of sodium metabisulfite (1 g for every kilogram of mango slices). Mix thoroughly.
6. Soak mangoes in syrup for at least 18-20 hours. Drain. Rinse slices with running water.
7. Lay mango slices on trays lined with cheesecloth. Dry in a cabinet drier at 60°-65°C for 10-14 hours. Drying may be done in a solar drier as long as drying area is clean and free from dust, rodents and other insects.
8. Remove from trays and loosely pack dried mangoes in ordinary plastic bags. Allow mangoes to sweat at ambient condition for 18-24 hours.
