Abstract

Seriales [FIacourtia jangomas (Lour) Raeusch] is a wild and underutilized fruit growing in rural areas in the Philippines. This study explored the potential of seriales as dehydrated product. A single factor experiment arranged in completely randomized design was undertaken to evaluate the effect of sugar level (40, 50, 60, 70 & 80%) on the physico-chemical properties of dehydrated seriales. The procedure in determining the physico-chemical properties of dehydrated seriales fruit follows standard AOAC (1980) procedures. Results revealed that sugar level significantly affects the TSS, pH, moisture content, and water activity of the product.
