The size of the pineapple slices determines the cuts and thus also the content quantity in our ADRIA cans: thus, the standard pineapple ring size 2 (average ring size 80 – 83 mm) results in 10 to a maximum of 60 slices each in our three can sizes 580 to 3100 ml (see table). However, the ring size also determines the cut and quantity of pineapple pieces in the ADRIA cans. Example: slices of ring size 2 result in 16 pieces (1/16 cut). Pineapple slices with the smallest diameter (60-65 mm) result in 12 pieces (1/12 cut). Accordingly, the pieces from a 1/12 cut are shorter, the pieces from a 1/18 cut (ring size 1) slightly longer. Paul M. Müller mainly deals with the standard 1/16 cut. Above that, our product range includes crushed pineapples in its own juice in the 3100 ml ADRIA can. These are often used as a fruit garnish for yoghurt. By the way: in the case of pineapple sweetness, a distinction is usually made between sugared (usually “choice” products with a Brix content of 18-20), slightly sugared (standard products, 14-17 Brix), in pineapple juice (only fructose) and water pack (especially suitable for diabetics, as there is no added sugar). In the retail trade, the trend is currently from “sugared” or “slightly sugared” to “pineapple juice” in order to satisfy the health aspect. These are often used as a fruit garnish for yoghurt.
