White Guava Pulp is extracted from the selected varieties of the white guavas. The fruits are first inspected for the quality, washed and sent to ripening chambers.
Fully ripened guavas are again washed, then transferred for further processing which includes deseeding, pulp extracting, centrifuging, homogenizing. In case of aseptic product the pulp is sterilized and packed in aseptic bags maintaining the sterility. The refined pulp is also packed in cans hermetically sealed and retorted.
Single strength Pulp & Double strength concentrate both are produced out of White Guava fruit. Guava pulp is mainly used to make guava juices, guava jams, fruit bars and fruit cheese.
