PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce a dried persimmon not containing sulfurous acid and having a good texture by irradiating a persimmon with far IR light and immersing the persimmon in a salt-containing vinegar aqueous solution in stead of sulfur smoking. SOLUTION: This method for producing dried persimmons comprises irradiating astringent persimmons with far IR light at 30-40 deg.C for 24 hr to solidify tannin, subjecting the treated persimmons to an additional ripening, a paring, and a persimmon-connecting using a string, dipping the connected persimmons in a salt-containing vinegar aqueous solution at 5-15 deg.C for 5 sec to 2 min and further subjecting the persimmons to hanging drying, and a far IR light irradiation treatment to age and sterilize the persimmons. In the dipping process, the diluted solution of a salt-containing vinegar aqueous solution prepared by adding a 13-16% vinegar to a salt water having a concentration 2-4% is used. |
