1. Ingredients and Additives
The regular soft dried mango is typically made from ripe mangoes with a small amount of added sugar and a trace of sulfur dioxide (SO₂) to enhance color and shelf life. This is a widely accepted industry practice and meets general export standards.
In contrast, the no sugar, no SO₂ version is made from 100% ripe mangoes – no added sugar, no preservatives, and no sulfur treatment. This clean-label product caters to health-conscious consumers, especially those who follow vegan, natural, or low-sugar diets.
2. Taste and Appearance
The regular version has a more intense sweetness and a slightly glossy appearance due to added sugar. It often has a more uniform golden color, maintained by SO₂.
Meanwhile, the no sugar, no SO₂ mango has a milder, natural fruit sweetness with a more rustic look. Color may vary slightly, but this reflects the authenticity of the fruit without artificial enhancement.
3. Shelf Life and Storage
Both versions are shelf-stable and suitable for export. The regular version may have a longer shelf life of up to 12 months due to the use of SO₂. The no sugar version has a shelf life of 6 months and should be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain quality.
4. Market Preferences
The regular version is ideal for mass-market distribution and general retail. It offers consistent taste and appearance, and is widely accepted across different regions.
The no sugar, no SO₂ version is best suited for niche markets focused on health, such as organic stores, vegan food chains, and clean-label distributors. It aligns with global trends favoring natural, additive-free foods.
Conclusion
Whether you choose the regular or no sugar version, both types of soft dried mango from TECHMIFOOD are made from high-quality Vietnamese mangoes and processed under strict standards. The choice depends on your market segment and customer expectations.
