Zarchin Seedless Uzbek Black Raisins (Currants)

Standard bulk cartons are packed with a target moisture content of 12% to 15%. This preserves the characteristic fleshy texture while eliminating the risk of microbial activity or premature crystallization during prolonged transport. Custom dehydration parameters can be arranged for industrial confectionary buyers requiring specific hydration levels.

The raw material undergoes multi-deck vibrating sieves and air aspirators to strip away stalks, dust, and immature berries. Optical color-sorting machines combined with final manual inspection tables ensure consistent deep black color, jumbo sizing, and minimum 99.5% purity free of extraneous foreign matter.

Optimal storage demands a cold, dry ambient temperature strictly below 15°C and relative humidity under 50%. Cartons must be stored on pallets with adequate ventilation corridors, protected from direct sunlight. Storage above 20°C may trigger natural sugar blooming or darkening over time.

Under sealed standard carton storage within controlled temperatures, shelf life exceeds 12 months. Sugar blooming is a natural recrystallization of internal glucose/fructose driven by thermal swings; it is harmless but suppressed through consistent cold storage.

Packed in 5-ply export-grade corrugated boxes with food-grade inner liners. Pallet configurations typically accommodate 80 to 100 cartons (800–1000 kg net) per standard 100x120 cm wooden pallet, wrapped in stretch film. A 40ft dry container carries roughly 20-22 metric tons.

Shipments are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying moisture parameters, total plate count, yeast/mold limits, and negative aflatoxin screening. Phytosanitary inspection certificates and Certificate of Origin are routinely compiled for customs clearance.

Prospective B2B buyers can obtain sealed sample packs (typically 500g to 1kg representative of current active production lots). Samples are dispatched via expedited courier services to facilitate sensory, physical, and laboratory screening.
