Jamun Candy Processing

Jamun (Syzygium cumini), also known as Black Plum, is a highly nutritious tropical fruit valued in Ayurveda for its anti-diabetic properties and high antioxidant content. Due to its short harvest window (June–July) and highly perishable nature, processing jamun into shelf-stable candy is an excellent value-addition strategy. This guide, supported by NIFTEM Thanjavur under the PMFME Scheme, outlines the standardized industrial workflow for producing premium jamun candy.
