Fruit Purees & Concentrates

The sequence

Purees and concentrates are bought on measured parameters. Work through the sequence in order; each step closes a variable that would otherwise become a dispute after shipment.

1. 01

   Fix the product definition before the supplier list

   Decide the fruit, the variety where it matters, single strength or concentrate, the target Brix and the acidity range. A request for "mango puree" returns quotations that cannot be compared to each other.

2. 02

   Choose the preservation and pack format

   Aseptic bag-in-drum, aseptic bag-in-bin, frozen block and hot-fill each carry different shelf life, cold chain cost and minimum run. The format decision constrains which factories can quote at all.

3. 03

   Write the analytical specification

   Brix with method, pH, titratable acidity, viscosity or Bostwick, colour, defect counts, microbiological limits and pesticide limits for your destination. Include the tolerance, not only the target.

4. 04

   Qualify the manufacturing site

   Confirm the legal entity, the site that will actually run your product, the certification scope covering aseptic processing, and the traceability chain back to the growing region.

5. 05

   Check season, capacity and lead time

   Fruit is seasonal and campaign-based. The window in which your product can be made may be a few weeks, and available capacity in that window is what matters, not annual tonnage.

6. 06

   Approve samples against the specification

   Require a production-run sample, not a bench sample, with a certificate of analysis. Sign and date the reference and require the first commercial lot to be compared against it.

   Send the brief

   Product, Brix, format, volume, destination market, required certifications and target timeline. Galaxa returns a written scope and a pricing basis by Incoterm, or a note that a fit cannot be confirmed.
