FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, in particular, to a method for production of crispy fruity and berry snacks. Method for production of crispy fruity and berry snacks envisages raw materials sorting, washing, cleaning, cutting of raw materials into slices with thickness from 2 to 10 mm and maintenance in aqueous solution of molasses starch with concentration of 25–45 % at temperature (+5)–(+10) °C for 4.0–6.0 hours. Then raw materials are removed from solution, excess moisture is removed by free flowing and dried on air for 5–10 minutes. Then it is subjected to freezing during 20–24 hours at temperature of (-25)–(-26) °C, followed by roasting under vacuum of 0.09 MPa at vegetable oil temperature of 80–95 °C to moisture content of 2–8 %. Excess vegetable oil is removed by centrifugation at 350–400 rpm until its content is from 3 to 35 %. Produced crunchy fruit-and-berry snacks are produced with consistency of chips. As initial fruit-and-berry raw materials one uses fruit or berries, for example, apples, pears, quinces, papayas, apricots, peaches, plums, dates, avocado, pitaya, guava, mango, rambutan, strawberries (wild strawberries), banana, pineapple, kiwi fruit, jackfruit, lemon, tangerine, orange, pomelo.
