K.  aPreparation of Fruit Bars for use in Combat Rations.  c1972  aFruit bars were prepared by dehydrating fruit pulp in the form of sheets using crossflow hot air drier, cutting them into rectangular pieces and wrapping in cellophane paper. Wrapped fruit bars were packed in paper/aluminium foil/polyethylene laminate or in friction top tins. Improvement in the texture of the fruit bars was effected by the incorporation of pectin and adjustment of the pH. Crystallisation during storage was prevented by the addition of liquid glucose.1 aDAS, S. A.1 aJAYARAMAN, K. S.1 aBHATIA, B. S.  tIndian Food Packergv.26, n.2, p.33-35, 1972.
