Rose Syrup

Treedha's Rose Syrup, also known as Gulab Sharbat or Rose Sherbet Concentrate, originates exclusively from the historic Kannauj rose belt in Uttar Pradesh, India. This region is renowned globally for its Rosa damascena cultivation, particularly for attar and rose water production, ensuring a distillate of unparalleled purity and aromatic intensity.

The unique terroir and traditional cultivation methods in Kannauj contribute to the distinctive, soft floral sweetness of the roses. For bulk buyers, this single-origin sourcing guarantees consistency in flavour profile and adherence to authentic Indian culinary traditions, which is critical for product integrity and consumer trust in various end applications, from gourmet beverages to confectionery.

As a premium rose concentrate, Treedha's Rose Syrup (Gulab Sharbat) is formulated from cane-sugar syrup blended with Rosa damascena distillate, resulting in a concentrated cordial or sherbet base. The focus for bulk trade is on high purity, authentic sensory profile, and strict absence of artificial additives.

Our premium grade is characterised by its intense, consistent floral aroma and delicate pink colour, derived naturally. It is free from artificial colourants, flavours, and adulterants, meeting crucial 'clean label' requirements. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure standardised viscosity suitable for industrial applications and consistent performance in formulations. Treedha provides a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing these parameters and confirming adherence to our internal premium specifications.

Treedha ensures all Rose Syrup (Gulab Sharbat) shipments meet stringent international food safety standards, including those set by the EU and US. Our process guarantees the concentrate is Ethylene Oxide (ETO)-free, aligning with the EU's strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) set at the limit of quantification (typically 0.02 to 0.1 mg/kg for the sum of ETO and 2-chloroethanol). While US tolerances for ETO are higher (7-50 mg/kg for ETO, 940 mg/kg for 2-chloroethanol), our ETO-free commitment surpasses both.

Furthermore, all products are lab-tested to comply with EU maximum levels for total aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2) at 10 µg/kg, as per Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915. For the US, total aflatoxin limits are 20 µg/kg. We maintain zero-tolerance for Sudan I-IV dyes, which are strictly prohibited in both EU and US food regulations. Heavy metal limits (lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic) also conform to Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 and US FDA action levels. Microbiological safety, particularly for Salmonella, adheres to Commission Regulation (EC) No 2073/2005 for the EU and FDA's zero-tolerance policy for ready-to-eat foods in the US. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and a Phytosanitary Certificate from India's National Plant Protection Organization (NPPO) is provided where required by the importing country.

Global demand for Rose Syrup (Gulab Sharbat) is robust, driven by the expanding gourmet beverage and food industries. Its distinct floral profile and natural sweetness appeal to markets seeking innovative flavour differentiation in high-margin products. Key importing countries include the United States, Canada, Oman, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Vietnam, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

The increasing consumer preference for clean-label and natural ingredients further fuels demand, positioning Rose Sherbet Concentrate as a versatile component in functional beverages, confectionery, and bakery fillings. The growing interest in functional drinks, leveraging the natural polyphenols and Vitamin C found in rose preparations, also contributes significantly to market expansion, particularly in health-conscious regions.

The primary Harmonised System (HS) code for Rose Syrup (Gulab Sharbat) in international trade falls under Chapter 21, specifically 2106.90.9972 for the US market (as cited by U.S. Customs and Border Protection) and 2106.90.99 or similar sub-codes (e.g., 2106.90.19, 2106.90.40) for other global destinations. These classifications ensure correct customs clearance as a food preparation for beverages.
