IQF frozen peeled and pitted lychee for bulk supply

Product appearance supports review of creamy-white flesh, intact arils, pitting condition, browning and current-lot frozen quality.

Whole Peeled, Pitted and In-Shell Frozen Lychee

The term whole frozen lychee can describe two different products. Whole in-shell lychee retains the outer skin and seed. Whole peeled and pitted lychee means the complete edible aril after skin and seed removal.

For tea drinks, desserts, fruit cups, yogurt, foodservice and retail packs, the peeled and pitted form provides ready-to-use fruit. In-shell fruit serves specialty retail and visual presentation, while broken peeled fruit is matched to industrial processing.

Whole Peeled & Pitted

Complete edible aril for tea drinks, desserts, yogurt, fruit cups and retail.

Whole In-Shell

Whole fruit with natural skin and seed for display-led or specialty retail use.

Broken Processing Grade

Peeled and pitted broken flesh for juice, puree, jam, sauce and fillings.

Lychee Puree Projects

Fruit raw material selected by Brix, acidity, color and processing performance.

Specification Note: Lychee is a natural agricultural product. Fruit size, Brix, pH, acidity, flesh color and texture can vary by variety, maturity, crop and production lot. Binding requirements follow the approved sample, final specification and sales contract.

Brix, pH and Acidity Control

We review Brix together with acidity, aroma, flesh condition and sweetness-acid balance. A minimum of 18°Bx or 20°Bx must be confirmed against the current production lot before contract approval.

Processing Grade

Minimum 14°Bx.

Standard Grade A

Minimum 16°Bx.

Premium Grade

Minimum 18°Bx.

Selected High-Brix Lot

Minimum 20°Bx by current-lot test.

pH

Reference 4.00-4.80.

Titratable Acidity

0.20-0.60 g/100 g as citric acid.

Testing uses representative thawed peeled lychee, a calibrated digital refractometer near 20 C, a calibrated pH meter and acidity expressed as citric acid. Results are recorded on the COA when included in the commercial specification.

Choose the Right Frozen Lychee Grade

Grade Concrete Specification Recommended Application
Premium Large Peeled 50-70 pieces/kg, Brix ≥18°Bx, intact arils ≥90% Premium tea drinks, fruit cups, desserts and retail
Standard Peeled 70-90 pieces/kg, Brix ≥16°Bx Foodservice, yogurt, ice cream and bakery
High-Brix Selected Brix ≥20°Bx by current-lot test Premium beverages, cocktails and dessert brands
Whole In-Shell 20-27 fruits/500 g Specialty retail and visual presentation
Broken Processing Brix ≥14°Bx with controlled broken flesh Juice, puree, jam, sauce and fillings
Certified Organic Physical grade plus valid certification Certified-organic retail and manufacturing

We match grade to your application. Tea drinks, fruit cups and visual desserts normally need larger intact pieces; beverage and puree production can use standard or broken grades without reducing food-safety or foreign-material standards.

Browning Control and Ingredient Declaration

Peeled lychee can oxidize, darken after thawing or show a light-brown area near the seed cavity. We separate natural and color-protected options and require the ingredient declaration to match the actual process.

100% Natural Lychee

No added sugar, preservative, color or acidulant. Natural color variation and limited browning near the seed cavity can occur.

Color-Protected Lychee

If citric acid, ascorbic acid or another food-grade treatment is used, it must appear in the specification, ingredient declaration and destination-market label.

Fujian Lychee Origin, Variety and Crop Season

We source this raw material from Fujian, China, with Wuye and Lanzhu among the available commercial varieties. The main harvest and IQF processing period is June-July.

Variety, maturity and crop conditions influence fruit size, seed size, Brix, acidity, flesh color and aroma. We review current-lot details before annual or high-volume contracts and prepare frozen stock for year-round shipment subject to availability.

Quality Control from Fresh Lychee to Export Container

Raw Material Inspection

We review Fujian lot, variety, maturity, Brix, size, insect damage, mould, cracks, fermented odor and residue records.

Peeling and Pitting Control

We inspect shell removal, whole seed removal, seed fragments, torn flesh, cavity damage, juice loss, browning and intact arils.

Physical and Chemical Testing

We confirm piece count, diameter, Brix, pH, acidity, whole ratio, broken flesh and color tolerances.

Foreign-Material Control

We inspect shell pieces, seeds, seed fragments, stems, leaves, plastic, metal, glass, stones and packaging fragments.

Laboratory and Documents

We coordinate COA, microbiology, residues, heavy metals, ingredient and additive declarations, certificates, traceability and loading photos.

Thawing and Processing Performance

Frozen lychee naturally softens and can release juice after thawing. The result depends on variety, maturity, pitting damage, freezing conditions, frozen-storage stability and thawing method.

For tea drinks, fruit cups or visual desserts, we recommend premium whole peeled samples and current-lot thaw testing. Juice, puree, jam and filling processors can compare standard or broken processing grades for raw-material value.
