Brix & Quality Standard
We control IQF frozen pineapple quality from raw material maturity through final packing. For most commercial programs, Brix is normally 13-16 degrees, while confirmed orders can follow the buyer's agreed specification and crop condition.
We check natural yellow color, typical pineapple flavor, sweet-acid balance, cut size consistency, core residue, peel residue, broken pieces and discoloration. Our team also controls free-flowing performance, surface ice, foreign matter risk and packing strength before shipment.
Confirm Brix and defect tolerance before order.
We can review Brix, color, core residue, peel residue and broken piece control with your purchasing team.

We remove unsuitable fruit before peeling and cutting.
We control peel residue and core residue for cleaner finished pieces.
We match chunk, dice, cube, slice, ring or half specifications.
We freeze the prepared pineapple quickly to support free-flowing performance.
We inspect the product before final packing.
We pack into bulk, foodservice, retail or private label formats.

Quality Control Focus
Maturity and Brix Control
We select pineapple with suitable maturity and check the Brix range before processing. This helps your finished product keep a stable sweet-acid balance across batches.
Color and Oxidation Control
We reduce discoloration risk through controlled handling, quick processing and frozen storage. Our target is natural yellow pineapple color after IQF freezing.
Peel, Core and Broken Piece Control
We inspect peeled and cored pineapple before cutting, then control broken pieces during dicing, freezing and packing. Your team can confirm defect tolerance before production.
Cut Size and Free-Flowing Performance
We prepare chunks, dices, cubes, slices, rings and halves according to the agreed specification. IQF freezing helps reduce clumping and supports easier portion control in foodservice and industrial use.
Foreign Matter and Metal Detection
We use sorting, inspection and metal detection to reduce foreign matter risk before shipment. Packing inspection and weight checks are included before final release.
Cold Chain and Export Loading
We store finished goods at -18 degrees C or below and support loading control for frozen export shipments. Loading photos and shipment documents can be provided according to order requirements.
