Many factories use advanced equipment for turon producing, a popular Filipino snack, and effectively meets the market demand. In this blog post, we’ll look at the equipment you need to make Turon, its ingredients, and some tips for making sure Turon stays crispy.
What is Turon Made of?
Turon primarily consists of ripe bananas, jackfruit strips, brown sugar, and spring roll wrappers. The ripe bananas provide sweetness and creaminess, while the jackfruit adds a unique tropical flavor. Brown sugar is used as a sweetener and caramelizes during frying, enhancing the flavor of the turon. Spring roll wrappers are used to encase the filling and provide a crispy exterior after frying.
What Equipment is Needed for Turon?
- Turon Machine: The entire production line includes wrapper making machines, stuffing machines, folding machines, rolling machines, etc. The production of turon products can be completed automatically, with high efficiency and large production capacity.
- Frying Machine: This equipment is essential for frying the turon until golden brown and crispy. It has gas and electric heating methods to choose.
- Cooking Oil: Any neutral-flavored oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, is suitable for frying turon.
- Deoiler Machine: It can effectively remove excess oil on the surface of fried turon in a gentle way and will not break easily.
- Optional: Brush or Spoon for Applying Brown Sugar Syrup – Some recipes call for brushing or spooning brown sugar syrup onto the spring roll wrappers before wrapping the turon.
How do you Keep Turon Crispy?
- Use Ripe Bananas: Ripe bananas contain more natural sugars, which caramelize during frying, creating a crispy exterior.
- Seal the Wrappers Properly: Ensure the spring roll wrappers are tightly sealed around the filling to prevent oil from seeping in during frying.
- Fry at the Right Temperature: Fry the turon in hot oil (around 350°F/175°C) to quickly crisp up the wrappers without absorbing too much oil.
