Abstract
This article provides information on the varieties of plum, a stone fruit, and their convective drying process. Plums (locally known as “gayloli”) are processed in three different ways: 1) lye treatment (referred to as boiled gayloli in vernacular), 2) dried gayloli (initially spread on the ground), and 3) leaf form (also known as gayloli bark in vernacular). Additionally, plums are widely used in their ripe form for various purposes. The article focuses on the convective drying method, its technological aspects, advantages, and impact on the physicochemical properties of the fruit. The study highlights the suitability of this method for industrial-scale processing in Uzbekistan and its role in producing high-quality, long-shelf-life products for domestic and export markets.
