Dehydration process 

Lemons go through a multistep drying process to produce dried lemon slices that preserve much of taste and flavor of their former selves yet contain a lower amount of water,  increasing their chewiness and shelf life. These are the steps:

• Visual inspection of the raw materials for any fungal spot or contamination
• Washing to remove any dirt
• Cutting to produce slices
• drying by putting in the fruit dryer for some time
• Store in an airtight container
