Lemon melon strips

processing technology is as follows:
1. Raw material treatment: The papaya used in this product can be a semi-finished salt embryo or a fresh papaya. If fresh papaya needs to be peeled, seeded,
sliced
. If it is a semi-finished salt embryo needs to be immersed in water desalination, with a large amount of water soaked to desalinate, should be left in the raw material of the salt is more or less suitable, generally 1-2% for good, desalinated papaya slices slightly dry surface moisture backup.
lemon melon strips need to be available with lemon juice, which is available by extracting juice.
2. Preparation of sugar liquid: the required sugar is desalinated raw material weight 70%, and then displodged with 40% sugar liquid, with a ratio to calculate how much water and how much sugar 100 kg of raw material should be added. That is, 70 kg of sugar added to 105 kg of sugar liquid is 40% concentration. Add 2% salt, 0.05% calcium dichloride to the sugar solution, 10% raw fruit of lemon fruit, 0.05% potassium sorbate, bring the mixture to the boil and add the papaya slices (strips) for impregnation.
3. Sugar-permeable process: raw materials are not directly
heating
in order to maintain brittleness, the use of multiple sugar-permeable process, that is, the sugar liquid extracted directly heated and concentrated after impregnating papaya strips, papaya strips of water is replaced by sugar and evaporated by heating, so that the concentration of sugar gradually increased, the raw material sugar content is also increasing, and the water is constantly reduced, so that the sugar-permeable process takes about 15 days, until the papaya strips are semi-transparent state.
4.
Dry
: the papaya strips from the sugar liquid, put on a bamboo sieve to the oven in 60-65 degrees Celsius drying for five hours, control water content of about 30%.
5. Packaging: Sealed in a plastic bag or box.
finished product appearance requirements: light yellow or full yellow, crisp, sweet and sour delicious, with lemon flavor, sugar content of 55-58%, water 28-30%.
