Dried Infused Fruits
Kerry strength lies in its capability to create innovative technical ingredients. The IN2FRUIT range is an expression of our creativity. Existing in two core ranges, IN2FRUIT are high quality dried infused fruit pieces that give an ultimate fruit texture and aroma in our customers finished products. These technical fruit pieces have an optimum moisture consistency, are free flow and supplied in a dried form for ease of use. The whole dried fruit range is a sugar infused fruit such as sour cherry, cranberry, and redcurrant.
The juice infused dried fruit range is a range using fruits such as watermelon, cherry or apple as a substrate which are then infused with fruit juice syrups. These exist in a wide range of yellow and red fruit flavours. With a high fruit content, no artificial sweeteners, intense fresh colour and strong visual appeal, IN2FRUIT are a perfect ingredients for cereals, bakery products, snacks, ice cream and chocolate.
Fruit Hearts: In addition to our IN2FRUIT range, Kerry produces a range of dried candied fruits. The dried sugar infused fruits have low water activity value and a high brix residue. This allows our fruit to remain soft and have a lower sweetness level than traditional candied fruit. The key fruits in the range are orange and lemon peel, apricot, melon or custom specific. Kerry fruit hearts come in a range of particle size and are the perfect ingredient for chocolate bars, cereal and muesli bars, cakes, coated centres or nougats.
