Harayein Dried Melon (Cantaloupe / Rockmelon) Slices

Traditional Persian melon features pale amber-yellow flesh with concentrated honeyed sweetness. In contrast, melons such as Galia or Cantaloupe boast a more tender, gelatinous chew, distinct pastel-green or vibrant orange hues, and an invigorating fresh tropical aroma that provides a lighter, more refreshing palate experience.

Moisture content is strictly stabilized between 13% and 15%. Supported by the fruit's rich monosaccharide matrix, this hydration level delivers a pliable, tender, succulent chew resembling natural fruit gummies without brittle breakage or package adhesion.

Hydraulic slicers deliver a 5 mm wet slice, reducing to 2.5-3 mm ribbons post-dehydration. Lengths are mechanically classified between 7 cm and 11 cm, while asymmetrical end-trimmings are routed to secondary granulation streams.

Melon aroma relies on delicate aliphatic esters that degrade rapidly above 45°C. Cheepser operates specialized heat-pump dehumidification tunnels running at 38-42°C, stripping moisture without boiling off volatile aromatic fractions, thereby locking in fresh-cut botanical aroma.

Bulk boxes must be held below 15°C and 50% RH in darkened, climate-controlled storage. Thermal fluctuations induce internal package sweating and surface sugar blooming; hence, hermetic polyamide barrier liners are mandatory.

Every export lot is validated by a certified COA confirming compliance on moisture limits, non-detectable aflatoxins, multi-residue pesticide screening (GC-MS/MS), heavy metals testing (Pb, Cd), and microbiological safety, alongside an official Phytosanitary Certificate.

The domestic B2B MOQ starts at 50 kg. Master cartons contain 5 kg net protected by heavy vacuum barrier liners. Export pallets (120x100 cm) load 120 cartons (600 kg net) wrapped in moisture-resistant stretch film for sea-container shipping.
