Harayein Dried Orange Slices

Prior to precision slicing, whole oranges undergo ultrasonic washing and a calibrated flash warm-water dip. This short step dissolves excess bitter limonoids in the albedo layer without damaging vesicle integrity, preserving pure citrus sweetness.

Cutters are set to a 3 mm wet thickness, dehydrating down to a uniform 1.5-2 mm dry wafer. Slices are mechanically sorted to diameters between 55 mm and 75 mm, routing undersized or fragmented end-cuts to tea-crush lines.

Final moisture is strictly calibrated at 10-12%. This provides a crisp, non-sticky wafer structure that prevents package clumping while enabling rapid 2-minute infusion of color and volatile aromatics in hot water brews.

No; because slices are dried in filtered cleanrooms without starch dust, dusting sugars, or sulfur, they infuse cleanly without imparting colloidal cloudiness, leaving hot or iced beverages crystal clear.

Slices are packed horizontally in nitrogen-cushioned foil barrier pouches, supported by internal corrugated dividers within heavy 5-ply test cartons to isolate mechanical road shock and keep wheel breakage under 3%.

Each master carton holds 5 kg net. Standard export pallets (120x100 cm) carry 120 cartons (600 kg net). A 40ft High Cube container loads approximately 14 to 16 metric tons of palletized goods without box crushing.

Retail pouches feature multi-layer barrier films incorporating an Anti-UV optical window combined with 99.9% nitrogen flushing, protecting carotenoid pigments from photo-degradation and ambient oxygen.
