Introduction to Chapter
Fruits and vegetables are preserved mainly by drying, freezing, and canning. Syrups and granular dry sweeteners are used in these processes. Although sweeteners are more common in the preservation of fruits (i.e., in jams and jellies), many preserved vegetables also contain sweeteners that help to create desired product attributes.
