Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study of fruit use by preserve manufacturers is one of a series designed to measure the relative size and nature of each of the major users of frozen fruits and berries. The aim of this survey is to answer the following questions: 1. How much frozen fruit is used in preserve manufacturing? 2. How does this volume of frozen fruits compare with the quantities of fresh and canned fruits used? 3. What suggestions does the preserving industry offer for improving frozen fruits to meet its needs? 4. What is the outlook for future use of frozen fruits in preserve manufacture? Information on fruit use was obtained from over 80 percent of the preserving firms in the United States by mail questionnaires and personal interviews.
