Sunich Pomegranate Juice Concentrate 279kg

Sunich Pomegranate Concentrate is standardized at 65.0 ± 1.0 °Brix. Titratable acidity is tightly maintained between 3.0% and 5.0% (calculated as anhydrous citric acid at 65° Brix), representing the world-renowned sweet-tart equilibrium of authentic Saveh pomegranates. Operating under deep-vacuum, low-temperature evaporation, delicate active punicalagins, anthocyanin flavonoids, and total polyphenols are fully preserved, with the Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) heat-damage index kept to negligible trace levels to verify absolute purity.

The product is filled into 216-liter heavy-duty steel drums fitted with internal multi-layer aseptic bags. Each drum contains 279kg net (~297kg gross). Standard industrial pallets hold 4 drums secured with steel strapping and edge guards (~1,116kg net product per pallet). In international ocean logistics, a standard 20ft refrigerated container (Reefer) accommodates 20 pallets—totaling 80 drums, 22.32 metric tons of net concentrate, and roughly 24 metric tons gross cargo payload within international marine legal limits.

Given global scrutiny regarding pomegranate adulteration, each Sunich production lot is screened for botanical authenticity via Carbon Stable Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (13C/12C IRMS), advanced organic acid chromatography (specifically confirming zero tartaric acid to verify absence of cheap grape juice fillers), and HPLC anthocyanin fingerprinting. Alifard holds accredited ISO 22000, HACCP, ISO 9001, and Halal certifications, issuing verified bilingual Health Certificates.

Pomegranate anthocyanins and polyphenols are highly thermolabile and susceptible to oxidative browning and polymerization if kept at ambient warmth. To prevent color fading and nutrient loss, 279kg drums must be strictly warehoused in industrial cold storage at 0°C to 4°C (frozen storage at -18°C is recommended for multi-year reserves). Export transit requires dedicated refrigerated containers (Reefers) equipped with certified temperature loggers to ensure uncompromised quality upon arrival.

This concentrate is deployed as a premier core ingredient for 100% pure pomegranate juice reconstitution and exotic superfruit blends. In culinary manufacturing, it serves as the foundation for gourmet pomegranate molasses, meat glazes, artisan dressings, and natural fruit fillings in confectionery. Due to its verified antioxidant potency, it is also extensively procured by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers for cardiovascular health supplements, immune boosters, and anti-aging cosmetic serums.

At the client’s facility, the drum is staged in clean preparation areas, the locking collar and lid are removed, and the aseptic spout is sanitized with food-grade ethanol spray. A sanitary stainless steel tri-clamp adaptor connects the bag directly to a progressive cavity or air-operated diaphragm pump, transferring the concentrate into mixing tanks under closed hygienic conditions. Once the aseptic seal is broken, consuming the complete drum in the active production batch is strongly recommended.

The domestic procurement MOQ is 4 drums (one pallet); however, international export contracts require a minimum of 1 full 20ft refrigerated container (80 drums, 22.32 net metric tons) to justify dedicated cold-chain ocean freight. Alifard establishes annual supply frameworks with guaranteed batch specifications. Handovers are negotiated under FCA (Saveh Plant), FOB (Bandar Abbas Reefer Terminal), or CFR destination seaport terms.
