Harayin Dehydrated Basil Leaves

Harayin dehydrated basil is packed in durable 10 kg export cartons lined with multi-layer metalized barrier bags to eliminate aromatic oil evaporation. The baseline wholesale MOQ is 50 cartons (500 kg net). Export orders are palletized on heat-treated skids reinforced with heavy-duty corner boards and stretch film.

Dehydration operates within mild warm-air drying tunnels held strictly below 45°C with calibrated airflow velocity. This thermal profile prevents the volatilization of light monoterpenes like linalool and 1,8-cineole, locking over 80% of native essential oils within the dried leaf matrix.

Harayin basil exhibits superior thermal stability in industrial cookers and commercial baking ovens, releasing aromatic notes progressively into oil and water phases. Unlike inferior herbs that scorch and impart acrid bitterness, it sustains an authentic sweet-herbaceous Mediterranean profile throughout baking.

Every production batch undergoes accredited laboratory verification for Total Plate Count, coliforms, yeast, and molds (strictly below 1,000 CFU/g). Absolute absence of foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella in 25g and E. coli, is officially certified within batch COA documents.

Due to photosensitive essential oils, dried basil must be stored in dark, cool warehouses kept strictly below 18°C with relative humidity under 50%. Once opened within processing facilities, the metalized inner bag must be resealed tightly to prevent atmospheric oxygen from degrading leafy chlorophyll.

Export shipments are declared under international HS Code 121190 (Plants and parts of plants for perfumery, pharmacy, or culinary uses). Consignments are fully accompanied by official Phytosanitary Certificates, Health Certificates, and Chamber of Commerce Certificates of Origin.

For commercial contracts exceeding 3 metric tons, particle size can be calibrated across coarse flakes (4-6 mm), standard crushed (2-4 mm), or fine culinary powders. Private-label contract packaging into spice PET shakers, composite tins, or kraft stand-up zipper pouches is fully supported under manufacturing agreements.
