Jackfruit Processing

A visit was made to one of the farm in Johore, 4 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur. Johore is situated south of the country and it has a lot fruit growing areas such as pineapple, guava, durians, jackfruits whats not.
I have a chance to see how JF is processed to make chips via vacuum drying. The process is straight forward.

1.Fruit Opening (20 kg of fruit can produce 6 kg of pulp)
2.Pulp Extraction
3.Washing and Rinsing
4.Frying  (Frying for two hours)
5.Vacuum Drying
6. Weighing Into Proper Packages
7.Packaging and Labelling
8.Handling

All pulps or bulbs were taken out from the whole fruit

The seeds were removed from the pulp

The pulps were sorted out

Pullp were ready to be washed, rinsed and fried.

JF chips are very crispy and sweet. It has natural flavour and no artificial colouring. The chips are very high demand in countries like Singapore and Brunei. The chips could be shipped to any destination in the world due to its light weight and could be stored for a long period of time. THis processing plant pack 60g and 800g package and the price will be RM6 (USD2) and RM60(USD20), respectively.
