Sunich Sour Cherry Juice Concentrate 279kg (Aseptic Drum)

Sunich sour cherry concentrate is standardized at 65–66° Brix. Its hallmark is exceptionally high titratable acidity (ranging from 3.5% to 5.5% calculated as malic acid at single strength), producing a sharp, authentic Persian sweet-tart ratio. Reconstituted pH reads between 2.9 and 3.3, delivering a naturally bactericidal environment that supports formulation stability.

At high 65° Brix solids, sour cherry anthocyanins are exquisitely heat-sensitive. To maintain pristine color absorption values (optical density at 520nm) and eliminate non-enzymatic browning, long-term warehousing must be conducted exclusively in deep-freeze cold storage at -18°C. For international ocean export, reefer containers operating under continuous frozen setpoints are mandatory.

According to international AIJN standards, single-strength natural sour cherry juice has a baseline reference Brix of 13.5 to 14.0°. To reconstitute 100% pure single-strength juice, 1 kg of Sunich 65° Brix concentrate is blended with approximately 3.7 to 3.9 kg of treated water. In commercial nectar production (minimum 25% fruit content), a single 279kg drum yields between 4,000 and 5,000 liters of finished retail beverage.

The concentrate is aseptically filled into multi-layer aluminum-barrier bags with near-zero oxygen transmission rates, housed inside 200L epoxy-coated steel drums. Net weight is 279 kg per drum (approx. 297 kg gross). A standard 20ft container carries exactly 80 drums strapped on 20 pallets (4 drums per pallet), totaling 22.32 metric tons net payload.

Sour cherry juice concentrate is classified under international HS Code 200989 (juice of other single fruits, concentrated). Standard export trade files comprise 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 reefer 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 terminals.

Benefiting from intense natural ruby pigmentation and sharp malic acidity, this concentrate is widely utilized beyond 100% juices and nectars. It is an indispensable raw material for industrial fruit syrup production, confectionery liquid fillings in chocolates and toffees, high-fruit jams and jellies, gourmet glaze sauces, and clean-label dairy preparations like fruit yogurts and sorbets.
