What tangerine formats does PFVN, Inc. supply?

PFVN, Inc. supplies bulk tangerine ingredients in multiple formats depending on program: citrus cells (pulp), frozen formats, juice concentrate, NFC (not-from-concentrate) juice, and powder. Availability varies by crop year, origin, and processor program, with conventional and organic options where available.

How do buyers specify citrus cells (pulp) for beverages?

Buyers typically specify cell size/cut, cell-to-serum ratio, the carrier medium (juice or syrup) with target Brix and acidity, suspension behavior in the final beverage, microbiological limits, packaging format, storage temperature, and shelf-life requirements.

What are common applications for bulk tangerine ingredients?

Tangerine ingredients are commonly used in RTD beverages, citrus blends, sparkling and functional drinks, dairy bases, bakery fillings and glazes, confectionery systems, and culinary sauces and dressings. Cells add authentic texture and visual appeal, while concentrates and powders support efficient logistics and formulation flexibility.

Tangerine product overview

Tangerine ingredients bring a bright citrus profile that supports flavor, sweetness, and acidity balance — and in many applications, they add a clean, aromatic top note that pairs well with tropicals and berries. Cells (pulp) are chosen when you want authentic texture and visual appeal, while concentrates and powders offer logistics efficiency and formulation flexibility. NFC and frozen formats are favored for a fresher sensory profile.

Available formats

Typical specifications (what to ask for)

Specs vary by format and program; this checklist helps your team align quickly.

Parameter	How it’s typically specified
Soluble solids (°Brix)	Set per format (cells carrier / concentrate / NFC / powder system)
pH / acidity	Target range based on application and process
Color / flavor	Defined sensory profile; clarified vs. pulpy when applicable
Cells (if applicable)	Cell size/cut, ratio, and suspension expectations
Microbiology	Limits per program and intended use
Certifications	USDA Organic / Kosher / others upon request (where available)
Packaging	Drums / totes / lined cases depending on format and supplier
Storage	Ambient/chilled/frozen depending on format

Applications

Common application paths for Tangerine ingredients include:

Beverages: RTD juices, nectars, lemonades, soda bases, functional drinks
Dairy: yogurt fruit prep, drinkable yogurt, ice cream and frozen desserts
Bakery: fillings, glazes, fruit inclusions, breakfast items
Confectionery: gummies, candies, syrups, flavor bases
Culinary: sauces, marinades, dressings, savory blends
Fermentation: cider/seltzer/wine adjuncts where applicable

Tip: If you want visible pulp in an RTD, tell us your bottle/can format, viscosity, and target shelf-life — we’ll recommend the best cell spec.

Packaging & storage guidance

Packaging: Drums and totes are common for concentrates, NFC, and cells-in-serum; powders ship in lined cases or bags; frozen programs require frozen-capable packaging and palletization.

Storage: Concentrates may ship ambient, chilled, or frozen depending on item and program. NFC and frozen formats generally require cold chain. Cells are typically packed in juice/syrup and stored per supplier spec.

Documentation: COA and supporting quality documents are typically available. If you need USDA Organic, Kosher, allergen statements, or additional testing, mention it in your inquiry.

Traceability: Industrial programs often include lot IDs and origin information; requirements vary by supplier.
