of slow cooking, extraction, blending, pasteurization, water bath, and microbial analysis to
ensure that the product is safe for consumption. The Karamay fruit syrup has a yeast and
mold count of less than one (1), meaning that no hazardous microorganisms are present in
it. It is also passed the Staphylococcus Aureus which is <10 indicates that the Karamay
fruit syrup is free from potential sources of staph or food poisoning. The product also tests

indicates that the product Karamay fruit syrup is considered to be as high acid food. The
bottle that has been used in packaging is 250 ml or 8.45 oz in capacity. The bottle is 6.3
