Sunich Clarified Apple Juice Concentrate 279kg (Aseptic Drum)

Sunich apple concentrate is calibrated to 70–71° Brix with optical turbidity maintained below 3–5 NTU. Patulin control begins at fruit reception through automated optical sorters eliminating damaged fruit. The finished concentrate is analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in accredited laboratory facilities, formally validating on every COA that Patulin levels are strictly below the European Union and Codex threshold of 50 ppb.

Due to its high 70° Brix concentration, the product possesses extreme osmotic stability against microbial growth. However, to prevent non-enzymatic Maillard browning and preserve golden brilliance, warehousing at chilled temperatures between 0°C and 4°C is mandatory. For long-term storage exceeding 12 months, deep freezing (-10°C to -18°C) extends shelf life up to 36 months without color drift.

A standard 20ft ocean container accommodates exactly 80 steel drums of 279 kg net. The drums are positioned 4 per pallet across 20 industrial-grade pallets, secured with high-tensile polyester strapping and stretch wrapping. The total net cargo weight equals 22.32 metric tons (approx. 23.8 tons gross), strictly respecting international road and rail axle limits.

According to international AIJN and national standards, single-strength natural apple juice has a baseline reference Brix of 11.2 to 11.5°. To reconstitute 1 kg of Sunich 70° Brix concentrate, approximately 5.0 to 5.2 kg of treated de-mineralized water must be blended. Consequently, one 279kg drum yields roughly 1,700 to 1,730 liters of premium 100% pure apple juice.

Apple juice concentrate is classified under international HS Code 200979 (apple juice of a Brix value exceeding 20). Standard export documentation comprises Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Chamber of Commerce Certificate of Origin, Laboratory COA, FDA Export Health Certificate, and accredited Halal certification.

The baseline domestic and regional MOQ is 4 drums (one full pallet equaling 1,116 kg net). For international ocean freight, the optimal commercial MOQ is one 20ft container (80 drums / 22.32 metric tons). Supported Incoterms include EXW (factory gate), FOB (Iranian southern/Caspian ports), and FCA overland border customs.

Clarified apple concentrate is universally considered the ultimate multi-purpose blending block in the food processing industry. In addition to 100% pure apple juice packaging, it functions as a cost-effective, flavor-neutral sweetening base in blended fruit nectars (such as apple-mango or apple-peach), natural cider vinegar fermentation, confectionery gummies, fruit fillings, and flavored dairy products.
