Processing jackfruit into ready-to-eat products and ingredients

The Australian jackfruit industry has been largely stagnate for the last decade. There are two key impediments to growth: (1) the availability of high-quality clonal planting material which is necessary for improved and consistent production, and (2) how the fruit is currently being offered to the market and the effect this has on consumer purchasing behaviours. 

This project investigates the development of processed value-added products which are convenient, appropriately portioned and remove the knowledge barrier of how to use and prepare the fruit.
