Do you wish to turn freshly gathered seasonal fruits into highly sweet dried fruits while retaining their fresh aroma?

So let’s take a closer look at what you should know about infusion plants.

1. Infusion Plant Process Steps
The infusion plant allows freshly picked fruits to be dried by osmotic dehydration by immersing them in a highly concentrated syrup. While the color and flavor of the fruits that are dried by brewing preserves the freshness of the first day, they do not need any preservatives and sweeteners. The process steps of this facility can be summarized as follows;
  • Syrup preparation
  • Transfer of syrup to infusion tanks (syrup filling)
  • Hot circulation, cold circulation   
  • Returning the syrup to the tanks (syrup discharging)
  • The product consists of loading and unloading steps
2. Food Product Usage Areas Processed with the Infusion Facility
Dried fruits with a rich and deep flavor are commonly used in modern cuisine applications. In the food sector, where fast-moving consumer goods are developing and diversifying, customers' preference for organic products is growing by the day. As a result, different investment opportunities in the food business have emerged. The areas of the food sector that can be served as a result of the infusion facility investment include:
  • Cakes and Bakery Products
  • Snacks for Health
  • Dairy Products
  • Bread
  • Muesli and Cereals
  • Chocolate and Confectionery…
3. Which Products Can Be Processed With the Infusion Plant?
Almost all fruits can benefit from the management of fruit drying immersed in high-concentration syrup (osmotic dehydration). Because of the infused drying that you will use in many items, you may extend the consumption life of the fruits in their natural flavor without sweetening or adding sugar. You can infuse drying with the following products:
Apple Blackberry Raspberry
Blackcurrant Blueberry Strawberry
Cherry Sour Cherry Plum
Cranberry Elderberry Apricot
Goji Golden Strawberry Melon
Lingonberry Pomegranate Peach 
4. The Benefits of Infused Dried Fruits
GEO Infusion Facility is built and commissioned with user-friendly technology and equipment to make production easier for you. The most significant advantage is that it maximizes your company's efficiency during the production phase. Furthermore, the benefits of brewed dried fruit manufacturing due to the infusion facility are as follows:
  • Because high temperature/phase change is not required in the process, it limits the effect of temperature on food quality and protects the food’s integrity.
  • Mild heat treatment aids color and flavor preservation, giving the product outstanding organoleptic qualities.
  • It protects the product from structural collapse during later drying. It aids in the retention of form in dried items.
  • Enhances the characteristics of tissue and rehydration. Continuous immersion in osmotic agents prevents oxidation, allowing the product to retain its color longer.
  • Demlenmiş kuru meyveler, sadece meyvenin şekeri ile tatlandırılırlar, ilave tatlandırıcı ve lezzet artırıcı ürünlere gereksinim ortadan kalkar.
  • Infused dried fruits are sweetened solely with fruit sugar, avoiding the need for extra sweeteners and taste enhancers.
  • No need for additional fees helps you lower your operating expenses due to the naturalness and ease of the process.
