Pear product overview

Pear ingredients deliver mild, clean fruit sweetness and a soft aromatic profile that blends well with other fruits and botanicals. Pear Juice Concentrate is commonly selected for efficient shipping, consistent solids, and blending flexibility. NFC Pear Juice and frozen formats are favored when you want a fresher sensory profile, while Pear Puree adds body and a more authentic fruit character. Pear Powder supports dry systems and low water activity formulations where pear flavor and sweetness perception are needed.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates, NFC, and purees; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. NFC and frozen formats generally require cold chain.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
