Freeze-Dried Jackfruit

Freeze-Dried Jackfruit

Freeze-dried jackfruit is a premium product that uses vacuum freeze-drying technology to preserve the characteristic sweet and aromatic flavor, vibrant yellow color, and natural nutrients of fresh jackfruit.

Brief Production Process

1. Selection and preparation of raw materials: Naturally ripened fresh jackfruit (Thai variety or local artisanal jackfruit), segments separated, seeds and fibers removed, kept as whole segments or cut into cubes.
2. Quick freezing: Frozen at -30°C to -40°C to form ice crystals.
3. Sublimation drying: In a vacuum chamber at low temperature (-20°C to -30°C) for 24-48 hours, where ice sublimates directly into vapor.
4. Inspection and packaging: Remove defects and vacuum pack.

The process ensures the structure is preserved, resulting in a crispy exterior with a soft interior, without the need for preservatives.
