Preservation With Sugar (week 6-7)

Fruits have been part of man’s food since times immemorial.

Among the preserved fruits, jams and jellies

constitute important products and afford means of

utilizing a large amount of sound cull fruits unsuitable

for other purposes. It is an older method than canning

and freezing (Peckham, 1964; Thakur et al., 1997).

Historically, jams and jellies may have originated as

an early effort to preserve fruits for consumption in

the off-season. As sugar manufacture became more

affordable, the popularity and availability of these

fruit products increased (Anon, 1983). Jams in their

various forms are probably the easiest by-products

made of citrus fruits.
