Monk Fruit Juice Concentrate: Specifications, Batch Data, and Storage
Read monk fruit juice concentrate specifications using batch data to check Brix, composition, processing and practical use.
When buying monk fruit juice concentrate, asking only about concentration is not enough. Brix, mogroside V content, pH and turbidity measure different properties and cannot replace one another.
One confirmed batch of Hengliyuan's LHX-N02 concentrate had a Brix reading of 56.84 °Bx and mogroside V content of 2.86%. Both figures can be correct: the first is a refractometric concentration reading, the second is mogroside V measured by HPLC. A reading of 56.84 °Bx does not mean 56.84% mogroside V or sweetness 56.84 times that of sucrose.
Choose a flavour or decolorized concentrate first
Hengliyuan offers monk fruit flavour juice concentrate and decolorized monk fruit juice concentrate as two product options. If retaining monk fruit flavour matters, start by evaluating the flavour concentrate. If the finished drink has a colour target, ask about the decolorized concentrate and test its appearance in the actual formula. Share the beverage base, desired flavour, colour target and processing conditions when requesting samples. Decolorized does not mean colourless or flavourless; neither product name establishes sweetness or dosage. Confirm specifications, packaging and batch documents for the selected product. The LHX-N02 batch figures below explain how to read that model's report. They are not specifications for either product linked here.
Reading a specification sheet through batch data
These data concern LHX-N02 concentrate, batch LHX-N02-26040601, reported on 11 April 2026. The specification column gives the requirements in that document; the result column gives this batch's test results. They do not mean every batch will have identical values.
| Test | Specification in the product document | Result for this batch | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mogroside V, HPLC | ＜3.0% | 2.86% | Content of the individual component mogroside V, not total mogrosides |
| Brix | 55.0–60.0 °Bx | 56.84 °Bx | Refractometric concentration reading; does not replace mogroside V testing or sweetness evaluation |
| pH | 4.5–5.5 | 5.16 | A test value for the ingredient, not the formulated beverage's pH |
| Turbidity, 0.5% solution | ≤20.0 NTU | 0.302 NTU | Measured in a 0.5% solution; must not be reported as undiluted concentrate turbidity |
| Total plate count | ≤100 CFU/mL | ＜10 CFU/mL | Keep the result as less than 10, not zero |
| Yeasts and moulds | ≤20 CFU/mL | ＜10 CFU/mL | Report the stated result; it does not mean sterile |
This also shows the difference between a specification range and a batch result. The Brix specification is 55.0–60.0 °Bx; this batch measured 56.84 °Bx. Check both the agreed range and the actual supplied batch's result.
Brix, mogroside V and total mogrosides are different measures
Brix is a liquid ingredient's concentration reading. Mogroside V content measures a specific component, while total mogrosides is the sum of the mogrosides included in the test. Here, 2.86% specifically refers to mogroside V, not 2.86% total mogrosides. Brix of 56.84 °Bx alone cannot establish total mogrosides or beverage dosage. List these measures separately when comparing concentrates. Ask the supplier for missing results rather than substituting another measure.
Read turbidity and appearance together with test conditions
The turbidity here is 0.302 NTU, but the tested material was a 0.5% solution. Omitting that condition would misrepresent a diluted sample's behaviour as that of undiluted concentrate. An ingredient's result under specified test conditions does not guarantee the same behaviour in tea infusions, juice drinks or other formulations. Use the intended base and dosage, observing colour, cloudiness and visible sediment.
Comparing concentrate and juice powder costs in use
Concentrate is liquid; juice powder is dried, and whether it contains a carrier must also be confirmed. Equal purchase weights do not imply equal monk fruit content or practical performance. First bring both options to the same beverage target, then record actual dosages: Ingredient cost per beverage batch = delivered unit price (CNY/kg) × actual quantity used (kg). Use quantities confirmed in trials, rather than calculations based only on Brix or mogroside V percentage. Compare fruit aroma, aftertaste, colour and production handling as well as sweetness.
State storage duration together with conditions
The documentation for this model lists:
| Storage conditions | Documented storage duration |
|---|---|
| 0–4℃ | 24 months |
| Ambient temperature | 12 months |
These durations apply under different conditions. Do not retain only “24 months” and omit 0–4℃. The ambient-temperature entry has no stated upper temperature here, so it does not establish suitability for transport at any high temperature. These periods cannot be used directly as shelf life after opening. Confirm storage, transport and post-opening requirements against the selected product, packaging and actual supply documents.
How Hengliyuan helps beverage customers select samples
Customers can describe their planned beverage, desired monk fruit flavour and filtration, heat-treatment or other processing requirements. Hengliyuan uses this to help select concentrate specifications and samples. Test in the actual tea infusion, juice drink or other base. Record dosage; compare sweetness, aroma, aftertaste, colour and visible changes. Include heat treatment or storage in the evaluation when required for the finished product. After sample approval, confirm the specification, corresponding batch COA, packaging, quantity and delivery terms. This article's data explain specifications but do not replace the documents for a later order's actual supplied batch. Ask Hengliyuan about monk fruit juice concentrate

Common questions
Does higher Brix always mean more mogroside V?
Brix alone cannot establish this. Check the corresponding mogroside V content test result.
Do all Hengliyuan concentrates contain 2.86% mogroside V?
No. 2.86% is this specific batch's result. Other specifications and batches require their own documents.
Is 0.302 NTU the turbidity of undiluted concentrate?
No. It applies to the stated 0.5% solution test conditions.
Can this concentrate be stored for 24 months?
The model documentation states 24 months at 0–4℃ and 12 months at ambient temperature. Read each duration with its conditions and follow the actual supply documents.
