Abstract
A process for producing an intermediate moisture vegetable or fruit product which is microbiologically stable at water activity levels within the range of 0.5 to 0.95 and is free from additives used to prevent microbial spoilage, which process consists essentially of the steps of partially dehydrating a vegetable or fruit to a moisture content of from 26% to 60% and thereafter holding the resultant product in an oxygen free or substantially oxygen free environment.
