Preservation of fruits: Intermediate moisture peaches

Fruits and vegetables are nutritious, valuable foods full of flavour. Therefore, fruits and vegetables represent an important and in many case an under-appreciated resource which could benefit from better utilisation and exploitation in the rural communities. However, in the low-income countries, poor care and handling of these crops frequently results in loss of quality, especially when not consumed immediately. This preservation technique to produce intermediate moisture peaches permits the product to be consumed for more than a year. The intermediate moisture peaches slices must be stored in a cool and dark place.
