Nam Nam or also known as Katak Puru fruit is rich in nutrients. It is one of the most underutilised fruits that is available in Malaysia due to the short shelf-life and the way of consumption. In this study, hard candy that used nam nam juice was developed as a way to utilise the source. Physical and chemical analyses were carried out to study the characteristics of hard candy produced.
