PROCESS STEPS ...
PRE- WASHING
Once we get apricot from the
farmers. we do the pre -wash
process by the use of
pressurized fresh water for
removing foreign materials
from the surface of the apricot
through a converter belt ,after
the apricots are washed in this
process
they are rinsed and kept clear
from foreign materials.
CLEANING STEP
One of the most important
process in apricot preparation
is the table cleaning.Workers
inspect all the apricot one by
one on the table and clean all
the foreign materials which are
on the apricot and at the same
time each row on the cleaning
unit has a leader
for making sure the required
quality is always maintained.
SECOND WASHING
After the apricots are
washed in this process
they are rinsed and kept clear
from foreign materials.After
the pre washing process is
done main washing is done by
using soft brushes to remove
embedded dirts from the
apricots.
QUALITY CONTROL
We pay major attention in the
process of buying good quality
apricots from the farmers,once
this iş fullfilled ,we do the pre-
washing and washing process
very carefully and we control
the cleaning unit very
attentively for maintaining the
best standards the our esteem
costumers are looking forward
to,and we do check moisture
and SO2 level at all the required
periods.
RESTING UNIT
Apricots are left for
several days to lose their
moisture which was caused
by the washing process(max
1-2 days)
SIZED UNIT
As soon as the cleaning
process is over,we do the
classification of apricot,a
classification shaker easily
separates different
size of products ranging from
no.1 to no.8,apricots are
picked into baskets according
to their sizes
*** Production Process of Malatya Dried Apricots Dehydration Process ***
1. The fresh Apricots harvested by hands are carried into the farmer's depot in the
baskets.
2. Before the dehydration process, Apricots will be kept in the smoking room for a day
(smoked by SO2).
3. SO2 dose depends on the Apricots' volume and room capacity. Apricots are treated by
sulphure dioxide (SO2) for color retention.
4. Apricots spread down under the sun for dehydration and will be kept 2 – 3 days under
the sunshine.
5. Dehydration period depends on moisture and temperature.
6. Apricots are separated from their seeds.
7. Shelled apricots beaded down again for 3 days more under the sunshine.
8. After dehydration process, Apricots will be stocked up in +5 °C degree max.
