PINEAPPLE PROCESSING

INTRODUCTION
Canning is a well-developed industry. Traditional
canned pineapple products are: juices, slices, chunks, tidbits,
diced, spears, crushed and concentrate. Other pineapple
products include: sugar preserves (jams, jellies, marmalades,
dried/glazed), frozen and several by-products like wine,
vinegar and nata de piña.
Aside from low sugar and sulfite free dried pineapple
and pineapple juice powder, ITDI has also developed new
pineapple products. These are vacuum fried pineapple chips,
pineapple flakes and freeze-dried pineapple.
DEHYDRATED PINEAPPLE
Product Description
Dehydrated pineapple is prepared from mature smooth
cayenne pineapple syruped in three stages of concentration
and dried using a cabinet drier. The product has a bright
yellow color, plump appearance, chewable and juicy texture
with a strong pineapple flavor and aroma.
Procedure
1. Weigh rareripe pineapple. Remove crown. Weigh. Wash
pineapple thoroughly in tap water.
2. Soak in chlorinated water (200 ppm)* for 10 minutes to
reduce microbial load. Drain.
3. Peel the fruits and remove the eyes and the core.

4. Cut the fruits into desired size and shape (or cut it into
wedges of about 2 cm thickness or dice it into desired
length and thickness).
5. Soak the cut fruits into hot boiled heavy syrup (1 part
water: 1 part sugar) containing citric acid equivalent to
0% (3g/liter of syrup), and sodium benzoate, 0%
(1g/liter of syrup). The latter is added as a precautionary
measure against mold growth.
6. Let the mixture stand overnight in a cool place.
7. Drain off the heavy syrup from the fruits.
8. Increase the concentration of the syrup by 2% or more
and boil.
9. Cool the hot syrup slightly and re-soak the fruits.
10. Repeat this operation daily for about a week or until the
sugar no longer dissolves.
11. Drain the syrup-impregnated fruit.
12. Wipe off sticky syrup with clean moist cloth, and dry under
the sun or appropriate drier until moisture content is about
30 to 35%.
13. Cool.
14. Pack and seal it in polyethylene bags, glass jars, or
other appropriate containers.
MINIMALLY PROCESSED REFRIGERATED PINEAPPLE
Procedure
1. Weigh rareripe pineapple. Remove crown. Wash
pineapple thoroughly in tap water.
2. Soak in chlorinated water (200 ppm) for 10 minutes to
reduce microbial load. Drain.
3. Peel the sound rareripe fruits and remove the eyes and
the core.

3

4. Wash it thoroughly using cold water.
5. Prepare syrup (2 parts sugar: 1 part water). Boil. Cool to
room temperature.
6. Soak sliced pineapple in syrup for 10 minutes. Drain
thoroughly.
7. Pack pineapples in plastic bags or in styropore.
8. Seal the package thoroughly. If using styropore, seal or
wrap using PVC or saran wrapper.
9. Refrigerate at 2° to 3°C. The product will last for about a
week at this condition.
PINEAPPLE IN SYRUP
Procedure
1. Weigh rareripe pineapple. Remove the crown. Wash
pineapple thoroughly in tap water.
2. Soak in chlorinated water (200 ppm) for 10 minutes to
reduce microbial load. Drain.

4. Slice, dice, crush or cut the pineapple into desired size
and shape.
5. Pack in clean tin cans or glass jars.
6. Prepare hot syrup (1 part sugar in 1 part water).
7. Pour hot syrup in containers containing pineapple slices.
8. Cover it with enough of the hot heavy syrup.
9. Exhaust to remove bubbles at 80°C for 10 minutes. Seal
the containers tightly.
10. Process it in boiling water for 30 to 45 minutes
depending upon the size of the container.
11. Let the canned product cool.
12. Wipe the containers to dry.
13. Label and store.

4

5. Slice/Chop the fruit finely.
6. Add sugar and previously boiled thin slices of calamansi
rind (5 parts fruit: 5 parts sugar: 1 part calamansi rind).
7. Add calamansi juice as desired. Mix well and cook it until
the jellying point is reached which is determined by the
sheeting or flake test. In this test, the marmalade is
allowed to drop from the edge of the wooden spoon. The
drops run together forming sheets or flakes, which break
off in a clean harp manner.
8. When done, pack the marmalade in clean glass jars and
seal tightly.
9. Process it over boiling water for 15 minutes.
10. Cool, wipe dry, label, and store.
PINEAPPLE JAM
Procedure
1. Weigh rareripe pineapple. Wash it thoroughly in tap
water.
2. Soak in chlorinated water (200 ppm) for 10 minutes to
reduce microbial load. Drain.
3. Peel the fruits and remove the eyes.
4. Wash and chop finely or mash the whole fruit.
5. Weigh the fruit and mix well with refined sugar (1 part
fruit: ¾ to 1 part sugar). If the mixture is too sweet, add
calamansi juice as desired.
6. Cook gently with constant stirring until thick and of the
right consistency.
7. Pack the mixture while it is hot in clean glass jars and seal
tightly.
8. Process in boiling water bath for 15 minutes.
9. Cool, wipe dry, label, and store.

PINEAPPLE-MANGO LEATHER
Product Description
Pineapple-Mango leather, sometimes called fruit roll or fruit
toffee, is prepared from the puree of table-ripe pineapple and
mango, dried to form glossy sheets and cut into desired sizes.
The product is about 1 mm thick, deep yellow orange in color
with the characteristic pineapple and mango flavors. The
product is chewable. Its texture is pliable but can still be torn
into pieces.
Pineapple-Mango leather can be eaten as is, as a snack or
dessert, or used as pie fillings and toppings for cakes. The
product remains of good eating quality for years when stored
in the freezer, for months under refrigeration, and for about 7
months at ambient conditions.
Procedure
1. Weigh, sort and grade pineapple and mango.
2. Remove pineapple crowns.
3. Weigh.
4. Wash and rinse in tap water to remove adhering surface
dirt.
5. Soak in 200 ppm calcium hypochlorite solution* for 10
minutes to reduce microbial load. Drain.
6. Peel fruits, remove middle core of pineapple.
7. Cut pineapple into size; slice and scoop out mango.
8. Comminute fruit slices using a Waring blender (1 part
mango:1 part pineapple).
9. Adjust the initial soluble solids content to 20°Brix* with
refined sugar. Use the Pearson’s Square method to
compute for the required amount of sugar.
10. Pasteurize mixture at 80°C for 20 minutes.
11. Spread puree evenly on greased stainless steel trays.

12

12. Dry in cabinet driers at 60  5°C.
13. Remove pineapple/mango leather from tray. Allow to
sweat overnight.

15. Cut into desired shapes and sizes.
16. Pack in laminates of paper/foil/polyethylene. Seal.
17. Pack in carton boxes, seal/tape and store in a cool, dry
storage room.
PINEAPPLE PRESERVE
Procedure
1. Weigh rareripe pineapple. Remove the crown. Wash
pineapple thoroughly in tap water.
2. Soak in chlorinated water (200 ppm) for 10 minutes to
reduce microbial load. Drain.
3. Peel the fruits and remove the eyes.
4. Wash it very well.
5. Cut large fruits into desired thickness and shape. Leave
the small fruits whole.

Calculate the amount of sugar required to adjust the 3 kg
of mango puree with an initial concentration of 25oBx to a
final concentration of 45oBx.

####### a=25 b=

To compute:
Requirement: Amount of sugar needed to adjust 3 kg
mango puree to 45oBx.
0 x 3 kilos = 10 grams or 1 kg
sugar
You will need to add 1 kg or 10.90 grams sugar to 3 kg
of mango puree to have a final concentration of 45oBx.

where:
a : initial soluble reading
b : purity of sugar
c : desired soluble solid concentration
d : difference between purity and desired
e : difference between desired and initial
f : quotient between e and d
a : initial = 25obx
b : purity of sugar = 100%
