Harayein Dried Melon Slices

Incoming fresh melons are accepted at a minimum fresh Brix of 12. As water evaporates during dehydration, the intrinsic sugars concentrate, creating a rich honey-like profile without added cane sugar, corn syrup, or sweeteners.

Final moisture is strictly calibrated between 13% and 15%. This parameter yields a flexible, succulent, chewy mouthfeel while effectively preventing both brittle fragmentation and excessive carton clumping.

No; gradual drying under partial vacuum and hermetic nitrogen-flushed barrier packaging prevent carotenoid oxidation. Slices retain their translucent golden amber tone without sugar crusting throughout shelf life.

Industrial hydraulic slicers cut wet pulp to a 5 mm baseline, reducing to 2.5-3 mm when dehydrated. Slices are length-graded between 6 cm and 10 cm, with broken fragments mechanically separated.

To preserve tender chewiness and chromatic luminosity, cartons must be maintained at 10-16°C with relative humidity below 50%, stored on pallets away from perimeter walls and direct sunlight.

Packed in 5-ply die-cut corrugated export cartons containing 5 kg net. Slices are encased in a heavy-duty moisture-barrier polyamide bag with protective cushions to counter dynamic road compaction.

Every export lot includes a Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Origin, Export Standard Declaration, and full COA verifying moisture limits, total plate counts, absence of heavy metals, and zero pesticide residues.
