Preservative Options & Storage
Dehydration itself increases shelf life by lowering the availability of water to microorganisms that cause spoilage. Fruit SensationsŪ are not preserved with sodium sulfite. The infusion process involves slightly blanching the apples, which significantly reduces enzymatic browning associated with dehydration by inactivating the enzymes.
Moisture: 10% to 14%
