Papaya Puree /Pulp & Concentrate :
 
General Description :

Papaya plants grow in three sexes: male, female, hermaphrodite. The male produces only pollen, never fruit. The female will produce small, inedible fruits unless pollinated. The hermaphrodite can self-pollinate since its flowers contain both male stamens and female ovaries. Almost all commercial papaya orchards contain only hermaphrodites.

Puree/Pulp & Concentrate are made from selected varieties of Papaya Red / Yellow. Fully matured Papaya are harvested, quickly transported to our fruit processing plant, inspected, washed and sent for further process. Selected high quality fruits go to the controlled ripening chambers; Fully Ripened Papaya fruits are then washed, blanched, pulped, reseeded, centrifuged, homogenized, concentrated when required, thermally processed and aseptically filled maintaining commercial sterility.
