Gourmet 310g golden peach jam crafted from diced ripe saffron peaches simmered with pure sugar and natural pectin in a vacuum glass jar.
FAQ
The total soluble solids content is calibrated strictly between 65% and 68% Brix using digital refractometers. This optimal sugar concentration forms a cohesive pectin gel network, lowering water activity ($a_w$) to naturally inhibit spoilage microflora and prevent premature crystallization or mold growth.
The formulation guarantees a minimum of 45% to 50% fruit input based on the finished weight. Gentle low-shear agitation ensures that tender peach chunks do not disintegrate into puree, delivering noticeable fruit piece density in every serving spoonful.
Vacuum kettle boiling occurs under negative pressure at 60-70°C rather than open atmospheric 100°C. This low-temperature boil avoids Vitamin C degradation, eliminates sugar browning reactions, and prevents volatile aromatic esters from evaporating.
Packed 12 jars per heavy-gauge shrink-wrapped tray with a reinforced corrugated bottom pad (approx. 6.4kg gross pack weight), engineered for high pallet stacking stability during container maritime shipping and grocery distribution.
A standard 20ft dry freight container accommodates approximately 2,100 to 2,300 shrink packs of 12 units on pallets (25,200 to 27,600 jars, equating to ~7.8-8.5 tons net, ~15 tons gross payload).
The metal closure is applied via a high-speed steam-vacuum capper. As long as hermetic vacuum holds, the central button remains concave, producing an audible "pop" upon initial twisting to confirm genuine factory seal security.
Unopened, it retains full quality for 24 months in ambient storage. Once opened, because it contains zero chemical preservatives, mandatory refrigeration at 4-8°C is required, and clean, dry utensils must be used to avoid fungal cross-contamination.
