Dried lychee products are about 80% of total processed lychee
in China which are mainly processed by hot air and vacuum drying methods. All dried lychee products purchased from
market were dried with pericarp due to its high sugar content and it could be divided into two groups: semi-dried lychee
(30%, w.b.) and dried lychee (15–20%, w.b.). These dried lychee
products are soft and have very sweet taste which make them
unattractive to some consumers.
