Sunich White Grape Juice Concentrate 279kg

Sunich White Grape Juice Concentrate is standardized to an exact 65.0 ± 1.0 °Brix. During refining, raw pressed grape juice undergoes enzymatic pectinase digestion (depectinization) followed by advanced cross-flow ultrafiltration (UF) to eliminate haze-forming pectins and proteins. Titratable acidity is calibrated between 0.8% and 1.5% (calculated as tartaric acid at 65° Brix), while optical turbidity is strictly controlled below 5 NTU, guaranteeing an impeccably clear, sediment-free raw ingredient for industrial formulations.

The concentrate is packaged inside sterile multi-layer barrier aseptic bags fitted within 216-liter heavy-duty steel drums coated internally with food-grade epoxy enamel. Each drum holds a net weight of 279kg (~297kg gross). Standard pallets accommodate 4 drums secured with industrial steel or PET strapping (~1,116kg net payload per pallet). In international maritime transport, a standard 20ft refrigerated container (Reefer) accommodates 20 pallets—totaling 80 drums and 22.32 metric tons of net concentrate within permissible gross weights.

Owing to its neutral organoleptic profile, subtle acidity, and absence of overwhelming fruit aroma, White Grape Juice Concentrate serves as the world's most versatile natural fruit-derived sweetener. Food processors deploy it to replace refined beet/cane sugar, formulated into "no-added-sugar" jams and fruit spreads, utilized as a base filler to build soluble solids in 100% juice blends, and incorporated into functional bakery, functional dairy, and pediatric syrup formulations.

Although aseptic packaging guarantees commercial sterility against microbial fermentation, free amino acids and reducing sugars are susceptible to non-enzymatic Maillard browning if exposed to ambient warmth. Therefore, warehouse storage must be strictly maintained in industrial cold stores at 0°C to 4°C (or deep frozen at -18°C for prolonged stability). Export transit requires dedicated refrigerated containers (Reefers) equipped with continuous temperature data loggers to preserve its pale amber color over the 24-month horizon.

Each production lot is accompanied by a comprehensive technical Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing heavy metal assays (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic), multi-residue pesticide screening in compliance with EU and Codex MRL limits, and strict microbiological validation (Total plate counts, yeasts/molds, and Alicyclobacillus / TAB screens). Alifard operates under ISO 22000, HACCP, ISO 9001, and Halal certifications, issuing official bilingual Health Certificates for customs and food safety regulatory validation.

At the client’s processing plant, the drum locking ring and lid are removed, and the aseptic bag pouring spout is sanitized using food-grade sanitizing solutions. The spout is connected via sterile tri-clamp hygienic adapters directly to progressive cavity or diaphragm transfer pumps, discharging concentrate into blending tanks under closed sanitary conditions. It is strongly recommended to consume the entire drum contents upon opening; if partially used, the bag must be tightly clamped and immediately returned to 0°C to 4°C cold storage.

The baseline domestic MOQ is 4 drums (one pallet unit); however, for international trade, the minimum contract is 1 full 20ft refrigerated container (80 drums, 22.32 net metric tons) to rationalize specialized cold-chain freight economics. Long-term annual supply agreements or spot contracts are established against confirmed Proforma Invoices, supporting delivery under FCA (Saveh Plant), FOB (Bandar Abbas Reefer Terminal), or CFR destination sea ports.
