SPECIFICATION DEHYDRATED APPLES GENERAL
DESCRIPTION: Low Moisture Apples (also called “dehydrated”) are prepared from sound, properly ripened fruit which has been washed, peeled and cored, sorted, trimmed, cut to the desired size and properly dehydrated to not more than 3.5% moisture by weight. The product is inspected throughout the process to assure a clean, wholesome product that is in complete compliance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. Invertec Low Moisture Apples are “Circle K”, Kosher Certified. VARIETY Granny Smith,
Delicious, Fuji and Gala are the primary varieties available. FLAVOR/ODORS Typical of variety
with no musty, decayed or other off flavors or odors. COLOR Sulfured:
Light yellow to white. Unsulfured:
Light brown to tan. Sulfite Alternative:
Yellow to off white. PRESERVATIVES Sulfur Dioxide:
Approx. 500‑1500 PPM (Unsulfured and sulfite alternative products
are available by special order). Calcium Stearate:
0.5% maximum may be added to prevent caking. STORAGE
RECOMMENDATIONS Store in a cool (room
temperature or less) dry atmosphere. RECONSTITUTION RATIO Although the end
usage, process and style of cut, will ultimately dictate the correct ratio, Low

part apple, to fully reconstitute. PACKAGING AND
