SULTANAS:PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Sultanas belong to the grapevine family (Vitaceae) and are native to the Caspian Sea. Currants, sultanas and raisins, including those still on the bunch, are known collectively as "raisins. The difference between these three dried fruits is explained below: Sultanas: seedless, large-berried and light yellow. Larger than currants and smaller than raisins. Currants: seedless, small-berried, purple/black color. Their name derives from the Greek city of Corinth. Raisins on the bunch: seeded, large-berried, generally with stalk.
To produce: the grapes are grown on the sultana grapevine. The grapes are harvested when overripe. They are then either airdried or increasingly dried in special drying plants. Most sultanas are bleached(sulfured) after drying and mechanically destalked in order to extend their storage life and prevent subsequent discoloration. Such treatment must be indicated appropriately on the packaging. Treatment with vegetable oils is intended to prevent the sultanas from sticking together. Intended use: Sultanas are intended to be eaten raw and are used as an ingredient in nut mixes, bakery products, muesli and desserts. SOURCE : GDV e.V.

In Turkey, 30% of Grapes crop is offered as fresh, 37 % is used in Sultanas production, 30 % is used as confectionery industry and 3 % is used in wine industry. “Seedless grape” takes the first place in our export of the table grapes. A seedless variety, “sultani” constitutes 95 % of the exported grapes.
DIPPING Dipping solution consisting of water 100 kg, Olive oil 0,6 kg and potassium bi carbonate 5kg
Grapes are dipped into a dipping solution before drying, in order to remove the natural wax from the skin of the fruit. This accelerates drying (max. 10 days) as the water is able to remove faster, thus decreasing the rate of enzymatic browning reactions. Consequently, lighter colored “Sultanas” are obtained compared to the non-dipped “Raisins”.
