If the dried fruit tastes sweet enough, can it move to packaging?

Not automatically. Check the agreed moisture, water activity, texture, package and storage fields in the real product before approval.

Is water activity the same as moisture content?

No. Moisture is the amount of water; water activity describes how available that water is for movement and reactions. Use both when they answer different project questions.

Can a candied-fruit sweetener ratio be reused for freeze-dried fruit?

No. The drying route, porosity, moisture sensitivity and package behavior differ. Keep the two applications in separate test lanes.

What should be included in a dried-fruit sample inquiry?

Send target market, product type, packaging specification, estimated quantity, required certificates/documents and whether samples are needed, then add fruit, cut, drying route, moisture or water-activity target and storage conditions.
