Golden raisins are produced by harvesting green seedless grapes. The main characteristics of this type of Iranian raisins can be described as shiny and pure golden color along with sweet and fruity taste. The color of organic golden raisins ranges from yellow, golden, or greenish yellow to light amber. For producing golden raisins after harvesting grapes to decrease the time of drying process, they will be submerged inside a solution including potassium carbonate, water and vegetable oil. Then grape clusters will be tied up to each other vertically with appropriate 2or3 meter-threads and place in a shadow which has proper air ventilation in order to dry. Finally, they will be covered by appropriate nylons and they will be under exposure of SO2 gas for 5to6 hours. The SO2 gas causes the color of raisin to be yellow and it makes the skin of raisin very delicate and thin.
Also, the SO2 gas makes the taste of raisin a little sour and it gives the raisin an especially interesting taste. In this process, the grape preserves its gold color even after drying. Then the sulfur dioxide is washed completely after the raisins are transported to the factory.
The Standard level of SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) for golden raisin is less than 2000ppm.
The Standard level of SO2 (Sulfur dioxide) for golden raisin is less than 2000ppm.
