Harayein Dried Watermelon Slices

Watermelon possesses delicate parenchymal tissue. Cheepser employs multi-stage dehumidified airflow under gentle negative pressure. During initial hours, surface water is extracted at a calibrated thermal gradient, allowing the pectin fibril matrix to case-harden gently, thereby stabilizing slice geometry without cellular melting or sour fermentation.

With over 85% water mass removed, lycopene concentration multiplies by more than 8-fold compared to fresh pulp. Mild thermal processing also transforms trans-lycopene into easily absorbable cis-isomers, dramatically boosting intestinal bioavailability and cellular cardiovascular defense.

Final moisture is locked between 10% and 12%. This produces an airy, porous, semi-crisp wafer structure that dissolves gently upon salivation on the tongue, unleashing an instantaneous burst of intense summer watermelon sweetness and floral aroma.

Dried watermelon is intensely hygroscopic due to unbound simple sugars. Immediately post-dehydration, wafers are hermetically sealed inside thick multi-layer metallized barrier foil pouches (WVTR near zero) with pure nitrogen flushing inside rigid 5-ply corrugated shippers.

Cartons must be stored below 15°C and 50% RH in dark facilities. Natural lycopene undergoes photochemical degradation when exposed to direct sunlight, high-intensity warehouse lamps, or temperatures above 20°C; hence, completely light-blocking barrier liners are mandatory.

Due to fruit sensitivity, each consignment is validated by an official COA confirming Total Viable Count < 5,000 CFU/g, zero coliforms, negative Salmonella and yeasts/molds, compliant heavy metal screens, and a government Phytosanitary Certificate.

The wholesale B2B MOQ starts at 50 kg in 5 kg master cartons. Primary applications include Yalda and Nowruz hospitality medleys, gourmet ice cream toppings, mixology cocktail rims, artisan patisserie garnishes, and private-label organic gifting pouches.
