Pulp, commonly referred to as puree in the US, is the purest extract of the fruit, which is in the natural form of thick viscous liquid. Pulp is obtained by the commercial processing of mature and ripened fruit by passing it through a 0.78 mm sieve.
The shelf life of fruit pulp in sealed aseptic bags is 18 months, and in can packing is 24 months at room temperature from the date of manufacturing.
