4. Conclusion
Drying of fruits into leather will help to reduce the post harvest losses due to highly perishable nature of the fruits as a result of high moisture content and help in the utilization of seasonal fruits such as Banana, Pineapple, and Apple, to extend their shelf life. The physico-chemical parameter studied showed that sample 814 had the highest Total Soluble Solid, TSS (20.07 g) and also had the highest Total Titratable Acid, TTA (0.42%). Sample 314 had the highest pH (6.11) while sample 443 had the least pH (5.93). Also sample 314 had the highest vitamin C (22.33 mg/100 g). The proximate composition also showed that sample 819 was higher in Ash (1.20%), protein (0.71%) and Carbohydrate (84.71%), while sample 314 had the highest fibre content (12.47).
