An export-grade jackfruit drying line covers preparation and cutting, feeding, drying and vacuum packing. Soft dried jackfruit uses low-temperature (cold) drying; crispy jackfruit uses vacuum drying or freeze-drying. Moisture, temperature, time and uniformity must be controlled; crispy jackfruit is typically dried below 5 to 10% moisture.
Why invest
Vietnam produces large volumes of jackfruit, but selling it fresh yields limited value. Processed products such as soft and crispy dried jackfruit raise the value of the crop and help plants manage seasonal supply.
Two main product lines
- Soft dried jackfruit: low-temperature (cold) drying preserves natural flavor, golden color and nutrients.
- Crispy jackfruit: vacuum drying (or freeze-drying) creates a light, crisp structure without the oil uptake of frying.
Line structure
- Preparation: jackfruit processing and cutting machines separate bulbs, remove fiber and cut uniform slices; conveyors and seed-separating machines feed clean material to the dryer.
- Drying: industrial fruit dryers programmed with closed temperature and humidity cycles, sized for tons of raw material per day.
- Finishing: automatic vacuum packing isolates the product from the environment and extends shelf life without preservatives.
Key parameters
- Capacity and yield: match daily output to orders and calculate the dried-to-fresh recovery ratio.
- Temperature and time: keep natural sugars from over-caramelizing and preserve the desired softness or crispness.
- Moisture and uniformity: even dryness across trays, typically below 5 to 10% for crispy jackfruit, to prevent mold.
- Color and flavor: natural yellow color and sweet taste, within food safety controls (GMP/HACCP).
Storage and investment
Cool the dried product completely in a dry cold room, then vacuum pack with a desiccant sachet to avoid moisture regain. Choose a supplier that offers sample testing, full technology transfer and long-term maintenance.

Frequently asked questions
What moisture should crispy jackfruit reach?
Typically below 5 to 10%, with even drying across all trays to prevent mold.
How is soft dried jackfruit different from crispy?
Soft dried jackfruit uses low-temperature cold drying; crispy jackfruit uses vacuum drying or freeze-drying.
