Abstract
A method for producing sweetened, sliced fruit or vegetable products by exposing only one surface of the slices to an aqueous solution containing a carbohydrate, an anti-browning agent, and an acid. The acidity of the finished product may be adjusted so that products appealing to sweet-loving palates or tart-loving palates may be easily produced. The aqueous solution may advantageously be sprayed on the upper surface of the sliced fruit or vegetable, rather than by soaking or steeping the slices, so that the slices maintain their structural integrity and the application of the solution is not a rate-limiting factor.
