In order to prevent absorption of moisture from atmosphere and to prevent spoilage due to contamination, good
quality, food grade and airtight containers can be used to store osmotically dried foods. Aluminum foil,
laminated polypropylene pouches are suggested as ideal packing materials (Sagar & Khurdiya, 1999). Ahemed
and Choudhary (1995) used high-density polyethylene pouches for osmo-dried papaya. Dried products were kept
at room temperature for six months and it was accepted with little changes.
