Parlan Dried Apricot Halves

Parlan Dried Apricot Halves fall into the Super Grade tier, distinguished by thick fleshy pulp and flat spread. The piece count averages between 160 and 220 halves per kilogram, demonstrating the selection of large-caliber Marand apricots. Smaller calibers for industrial grinding or baking are available upon request.

Golden coloration is preserved via metered sulfitation conducted under strict QC oversight immediately following fruit halving. Furthermore, dense food-grade PE liner barriers and storage in chilled, light-isolated warehousing prevent oxygen ingress and enzymatic browning throughout the shelf life cycle.

Owing to its supple chew and high natural Brix content, this ingredient is deployed as solid inclusions in enrobed chocolates, decorative toppings for pastries, fruit puree bases for industrial jams, and diced particulates for health snack bars and muesli cereals.

Parlan supplies naturally sun-dried apricot halves exhibiting dark brown hues with zero chemical additives against confirmed purchase orders. Because unsulfured apricots are sensitive to thermal fluctuations, contracts are booked during summer harvests (July–August) and mandate cold storage at or below 4°C.

The comprehensive COA covers total moisture (max 20%), residual SO2 in ppm, Total Plate Count (TPC), yeast and mold enumeration, screening for E. coli and Salmonella, alongside physical compliance confirming the total absence of extraneous foreign matter and grit.

Dispatches leverage ventilated or refrigerated trailers for regional overland routes, and 20ft/40ft standard dry or reefer containers (in high-temperature months) for ocean transit. Cargo desiccants and container thermal insulation blankets are routinely deployed to counteract moisture condensation.

Supported by extensive temperature-managed buffer stock in Parlan warehouses, this item is available year-round with uniform quality. Consignments up to 10 metric tons are graded, packed, and loaded within 3 to 5 business days, while full container shipments (>20 tons) require 7 to 10 days for customs-ready dispatch.
