Dried apricot and diced apricot production is not an easy process. A number of issues may shorten the shelf life of the product if not addressed during production.It is of primary importance to ensure the moisture level in dried apricots after the washing process does not exceed 22%. Higher moisture levels can promote high yeast levels and this is the main reason for fermentation of the product.
Knowing that pit content is a challenge in the production of diced apricots, we offer diced apricots of a quality that is “ready to use” – or RTU grade, which are guaranteed to be free from pit fragments. Apricots under this category are inspected 3 times using visual control and once with a detector machine before being processed. Customers who intend to use diced apricots in end products can rely on our RTU grade diced apricots.
