Sorting berries in production is a key stage that affects the quality and safety of the final product. This process allows for separating berries into different categories based on their condition and using them according to the specifications of various industrial sectors.
Modern production facilities use various sorting methods to ensure high quality and purity of the berries. One of the most common methods is mechanical sorting. This process involves using special sorting equipment and machines that separate berries from unwanted debris such as leaves, stems, or other plant parts.
Sorting plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality for different industries.
Grade A berries have the highest quality. They are sorted using mechanical methods and laser installations to remove any plant debris, leaves, rotten or unripe berries, and other foreign objects. This ensures consumers can trust that each berry is perfect for consumption without additional cleaning.
Grade B berries are used in the processing industry. They also undergo mechanical and manual cleaning from plant debris, leaves, and other foreign objects. Up to 3% of unripe berries and up to 0.5% contamination with leaves are allowed. These berries are often used for producing concentrated juices, purees, and natural colorants for pharmacological purposes.
Grade C berries are sold without preliminary cleaning. These berries may contain up to 3% leaves and 5 to 10% unripe berries. They are used where quality requirements are not as high, such as in the production of preserves or for processing.
Sorting berries ensures the production of products with varying degrees of quality, meeting the requirements of different industries and consumers. This approach helps preserve the beneficial properties of berries and ensure the high quality of final products.
