1. Raw Material Pretreatment: Select 78 mature papayas, wash them thoroughly, and peel them using a stainless steel knife. Remove the seeds, then cut the flesh into thin strips either by hand or with a shredder. Place the papaya strips in hot water at 90 to 100°C for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove them and quickly cool them in cold water to preserve their texture and color.
2. Dyeing: Use natural edible pigments in various colors such as red, green, and yellow. Mix them with water to create a dye solution. Immerse the papaya strips in the solution, allowing them to absorb the color. Afterward, remove the strips and let them drain to remove excess dye.
3. Candying: Combine the colored papaya strips with sugar in a container and let them soak. As the strips release moisture, gradually add more sugar until the sugar solution reaches a concentration above 40%. Allow the mixture to sit for 48 hours to ensure proper absorption and preservation.
4. Drying: Take out the papaya strips from the sugar solution, drain any remaining liquid, and spread them evenly on bamboo trays. Dry them in an oven or dehydrator set at 60 to 65°C until they are fully dried and slightly chewy.
Product Features: The finished product has vibrant colors, consistent thickness, and a strong papaya flavor. It can be used as a sweet ingredient in desserts or enjoyed as a delicious and healthy snack. This process not only enhances the visual appeal but also improves the texture and shelf life of the papaya strips.
