Variety & Brix Selection
Variety Matching
We discuss MD2, Queen, Cayenne and seasonal supply options according to your target taste profile, color, cut form and destination market.
Brix Control
We confirm Brix according to variety, crop season and order requirement. Regular lots are commonly discussed around 10-13 degrees, while premium Brix lots can be selected when available.
Color & Maturity
We control maturity and natural yellow color during raw material selection, trimming and sorting to reduce pale pieces, overripe pieces and serious color variation.
Cut Type Selection Guide
| Your Requirement | Recommended Pineapple Form |
| Yogurt / dairy topping | 5x5mm, 10x10mm or 12x12mm dices |
| Retail frozen fruit mix | 10x10mm or 15x15mm cubes, tidbits or mixed fruit size |
| Smoothie / beverage processing | Chunks, pieces, tidbits or 20x20mm cubes |
| Bakery / dessert production | Chunks, tidbits, slices or rings according to visibility requirement |
| Fruit cup / fruit salad processing | Tidbits, small dices or regular cubes |
| Foodservice bulk use | Chunks, dices or 1x10kg carton packing |
| Industrial fruit processing | Pieces, tidbits or flexible grade after specification discussion |
Small dices are usually selected for dairy topping and fruit preparation, while larger chunks and pieces work better for beverage, bakery, dessert and foodservice applications. Send us your target product, size tolerance and packing plan so we can match the right pineapple form.
Core / Peel / Eye Residue Control
Frozen pineapple quality depends strongly on trimming and sorting. We control hard core residue, peel residue, pineapple eyes, fibrous pieces, brown spots and crushed pieces before packing. For orders with stricter visual requirements, we discuss the tolerance standard before production and confirm the inspection focus in the specification sheet.
We use coring and trimming control to reduce hard center pieces that may affect texture and processing consistency.
We inspect visible peel, pineapple eyes and surface defects to improve cleanliness before final packing.
We sort abnormal brown, translucent and overripe pieces according to the agreed specification.
Free-Flowing IQF & Clumping Control
We prepare IQF frozen pineapple with individually frozen condition and controlled surface ice. Drainage control, freezing speed, post-freezing sorting and frozen storage handling help reduce serious clumps, excessive ice and broken pieces. This gives your team more stable portioning during repacking, foodservice use or industrial processing.
