The Method of Producing Dried Fruits in Iran

Industrial production of dried fruit involves various processes, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Here are some common methods of producing dried fruit:

Hot Air Drying

This method is one of the most common industrial methods in which fruits are placed at specific temperatures to evaporate their moisture. Hot air continuously flows around the fruits, causing them to dry. The advantage of this method is low cost and the use of simple equipment, but sometimes it may reduce the quality of vitamins and the taste of the fruit.
Freeze Drying

In this method, the fruits are first frozen and then subjected to low pressure so that the ice in them is released as water vapor (sublimation process). The advantage of this method is the high preservation of flavor, color and nutrients. However, its high cost and the need for advanced equipment are its difficulties.
Radiant Drying

In this method, infrared radiation or other radiation sources are used to evaporate moisture. The advantage of this method is the high drying speed and preservation of fruit quality, but this method also requires special equipment and high costs.
Chemical Drying
Sun Drying
Steam Drying

Each of these methods has its own characteristics and applications, and choosing the most appropriate method depends on the type of fruit, the production goal, and the available budget. Ultimately, the main goal of producers is to preserve the quality, flavor, and nutritional value of dried fruits.

Factors Affecting the Price of Dried Fruit in Iran and the Middle East

The most important factor influencing the price of dried fruit is the daily price of fresh fruit. After that, factors such as fresh fruit quality, production quality, production cost, transportation cost, packaging cost, etc. can affect the daily price of dried fruit, which are explained in greater detail below.

Daily price of fresh fruit

One of the main factors that affect the price of dried fruit is the daily price of fresh fruit. Fluctuations in the price of fruit in different seasons of the year cause the price of dried fruit to be affected. Generally, for seasonal fruits, the price of dried fruit is lower in the seasons when fresh fruit is available, and much higher in other seasons.

The price of different types of fruit is also different, for example, the price of fresh pineapple is much higher than the price of fresh orange, and this issue affects the process of drying the fruit and determining its price.

Besides this issue, another point that affects the price of bulk dried fruit is the ratio of fresh to dried fruit and the amount of water in it. As a rule, fruits that are more juicy when dried have a smaller volume compared to fresh fruit will have a lower output, and are more expensive than less juicy fruits.

Fresh fruit quality

One of the points that is very effective in the quality of dried fruit is the quality of the fresh fruit from which the dried fruit is produced. Therefore, the higher the quality of the fruit, the higher the price, and the higher the price of dried fruit will be.

production process

The temperature of the drying machine and the time the fruit stays in it is also an influencing factor in the quality and final price. If the temperature is higher, the fruit dries faster, but the quality is not sufficient, with a specific and suitable temperature, although the drying time is longer, the final quality will be higher and the price of dried fruit will be slightly higher. The choice of product drying method depends on our customer in Italy.

Transportation

Generally, the purchase of high-quality fruit is done far away from the factory, and therefore the cost of transporting fresh fruit to the factory has a direct effect on the price of the final product. As a rule, the cost of transporting the product to Italy also affects the final price.
