Mango ingredient guide
Alphonso vs Totapuri Mango Pulp: A Buyer's Guide
A practical framework for choosing mango variety, specification and bulk aseptic format for beverage, dairy, bakery and food manufacturing.
Choose variety for the finished product
Alphonso mango pulp is generally selected where distinctive aroma, colour and a premium mango profile matter. Totapuri is widely considered for beverages and broader food-processing applications where consistency and commercial scale are central.
The right comparison starts with the finished product, desired flavour contribution, recipe, processing method and target cost rather than variety name alone.
Build a measurable ingredient specification
Industrial buyers should define brix, acidity, pH, colour, consistency, microbiological limits, additives if permitted and sensory expectations. The agreed certificate of analysis and sampling method should match the purchase specification.
- Variety and crop year
- Brix, acidity and pH
- Colour and consistency
- Microbiological and residue requirements
- Additive and ingredient declaration
Select an aseptic format for handling
Aseptic bag-in-drum is a common industrial format because it supports bulk storage and production handling. Buyers should confirm net weight, drum type, bag specification, pallet pattern, coding and storage conditions before quotation.
Bag-in-box or other formats may be reviewed where the program, volume and filling capability support them.
Coordinate lots, documents and container loading
A complete order plan aligns production lots, drum count, palletisation, container loading, shelf-life documentation and destination requirements. Label text and import documents should be approved before dispatch.
