Select high-quality, ripe apples. Wash them thoroughly and peel them, making sure to remove the core. Cut the apples into thin slices, approximately 6 mm in thickness. Immediately place the slices into a 3% saltwater solution to prevent oxidation. After a few minutes, remove the slices, rinse them under running water, and arrange them on a rack or in any suitable form. Then, fumigate with sulfur for one hour, using sulfur at a concentration of 0.4% relative to the weight of the raw material. This process helps preserve the color and texture of the apple slices.
Next, dry the slices at a controlled temperature of around 70°C for about six hours, until they are 80% to 90% dry. Once dried, store the apple slices in an airtight room for 15 days to allow them to soften slightly, enhancing their texture. After this period, inspect the dried apples carefully. Remove any that show signs of mold or spoilage. The best quality slices will have good elasticity and a uniform appearance.
Finally, sort the dried apple slices based on quality and pack them into appropriate containers for sale. This method ensures a long shelf life, excellent flavor, and a visually appealing product that is ready for the market. By following these steps, you can produce high-quality dried apples that meet both quality and safety standards.
