Quick answer
Sulphured dried apricot is a Malatya apricot treated with sulphur (SO2) during drying, keeping its bright yellow-orange color and long shelf life; it is supplied in calibre (No.1–4/Jumbo)-sorted batches for the domestic market and export.
What is it?
Sulphured dried apricot is a Malatya apricot processed by treating it with sulphur (SO2) before drying, which keeps its bright yellow-orange color and extends its shelf life. Sulphuring slows oxidation so the color stays vivid; this is a reason for preference especially in retail and export markets where visual consistency matters. After the apricots are sorted into calibre (size) groups, they are prepared in batches with cleaning and moisture control. They are shipped regularly to wholesale and grocery chains domestically, and to European and Middle Eastern markets abroad. A batch at an SO2 level in line with the target market’s food codex is selected; if requested, it is confirmed by sending a sample to an independent laboratory.

How to Choose?
For sulphured apricot, the priority is that the calibre and SO2 level are compatible with the target market’s food codex; because the permitted upper limits of the European Union and Middle East markets can differ, the destination country should be stated. Packaging (carton, vacuum pouch, sack) and the calibre mix (single type or blended) are also settled at the request stage; a quote is prepared on this basis, and for serious, high-volume requests a sample is shared; if requested, we arrange for it to be sent to an independent laboratory.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference from the sulphur-free type?
Sulphured apricot stays bright yellow and has a longer shelf life because it is treated; sulphur-free apricot dries naturally and darkens. We supply both.
What are the calibre options?
Available in size groups from Jumbo to No.4; a mixed or single-calibre batch is planned to your request.
By which standards is the SO2 level set?
The target market’s food-codex limits are taken as the basis; if requested, we arrange for a batch sample to be sent to an independent laboratory for confirmation, and conformity is confirmed for the requested country.
Which markets do you export to?
We ship regularly to dried-fruit importers abroad; documents and packaging are adapted to the destination country.
Is private-label packaging possible?
Yes; custom label and packaging requests are met for grocery chains and distributors.
