Bulk Date Syrup
$0.00
Source86’s Bulk Date Syrup is a food-grade liquid sweetener produced by extracting and concentrating the natural sugars of the date fruit (Phoenix dactylifera). It brings a thick, pourable consistency, a deep molasses-caramel flavor, and high solubility, performing reliably across beverage, sauce, bar, and bakery manufacturing.
Often referred to as silan or date honey, date syrup functions as a liquid sweetener, humectant, and binder in a single ingredient. Its dissolved-sugar form integrates cleanly into liquid systems where granular date products cannot, making it well-suited for manufacturers developing clean-label, plant-based, and refined-sugar-alternative product lines.
Available in bulk with flexible packaging options, Source86 supplies date syrup to procurement teams, R&D departments, and food manufacturers at scale. Certifications, including Organic, Kosher, Halal, Non-GMO, and Gluten-Free, are available upon request.

Grade & Standardization Context
Date syrup is standardized primarily by Brix (total soluble solids) and viscosity, with color and any added ingredients as secondary variables.
- Brix / total soluble solids: The defining specification, higher Brix means a more concentrated, thicker syrup with higher sweetness intensity and greater microbial stability.
- Viscosity: Governs pumpability, dosing, and how the syrup behaves in mixing and depositing.
- Color / variety: Base date variety and processing influence color depth and caramel intensity.
- Composition: Confirm whether the syrup is single-ingredient (100% dates) or includes any added water or stabilizers, since this drives clean-label positioning.
Finer parameters (exact Brix range, pH, viscosity profile, microbiological controls) live in spec sheets and COAs and can be added as documentation becomes available.
Certifications & Compliance
Source86 supplies bulk date syrup with documentation commonly required for commercial ingredient sourcing and supplier qualification.
Documentation available upon request may include: Certificates of Analysis (COAs); ingredient specifications and technical data sheets; allergen statements; country-of-origin documentation; Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Certifications (availability may vary by supplier, origin, and production lot): Organic · Kosher · Halal · Non-GMO · Gluten-Free.
For quality-assurance teams requiring additional documentation, including heavy metals testing, microbiological reports, or pesticide residue analysis, requests can be accommodated on a per-order basis. Contact our team to confirm documentation availability for your specific compliance requirements.
Production & Sourcing
Source86 sources date syrup from established date-growing regions across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria, and Tunisia. These origins are selected for their agricultural infrastructure, processing capability, and ability to support consistent, large-scale production. This multi-origin sourcing model helps stabilize supply availability and reduce exposure to seasonal disruption in any single region.
How It’s Produced:
- Harvesting: Ripe dates are harvested from date palms in their primary growing regions.
- Cleaning & Sorting: Fruit is cleaned and sorted to remove contaminants and ensure quality.
- Pitting: Pits are removed prior to extraction.
- Soaking / Extraction: Dates are softened and the natural sugars are extracted into liquid, typically with water and heat.
- Filtration: The liquid is filtered to remove solids and fiber.
- Concentration: The filtered liquid is concentrated (commonly by evaporation) to the target Brix.
- Inspection & Packaging: The finished syrup is quality checked and packed into bulk liquid formats.
Applications
Dissolves cleanly into smoothies, plant-based milks, functional drinks, and flavored beverages as a natural liquid sweetener.
Adds sweetness, body, and caramel depth to sauces, glazes, dressings, and marinades.
Functions as the syrup/binder phase that holds bars together while sweetening.
Contributes liquid sweetness, moisture, and color to baked goods, fillings, and dessert systems.
Sweetens and flavors yogurts, frozen desserts, and dairy-alternative products.
Used in caramels, fillings, and spreadable products where a pourable date sweetener is desired.
Physical & Functional Characteristics
- Appearance: Dark amber to deep brown, translucent viscous liquid.
- Color: Deep brown, varying by variety and concentration.
- Flavor Profile: Rich, deep caramel with molasses notes.
- Aroma: Sweet and molasses-like.
- Texture & Viscosity: Thick, pourable syrup; viscosity varies by Brix.
- Solubility: Highly soluble; blends readily into liquid systems.
- Composition: Concentrated natural fruit sugars with naturally occurring minerals including potassium and magnesium.
- Nutritional Profile: A concentrated liquid source of natural date sugars and minerals.
- Dietary Suitability: Naturally gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian; free from common
Functionality
- Provides liquid sweetness that integrates fully into water- and liquid-based systems.
- Contributes humectancy, supporting moisture retention and softness in bars and baked goods.
- Functions as a binder in cereal and snack bar systems.
- Supports caramel color and flavor development in sauces, glazes, and bakery.
- Integrates without a separate dissolution step, unlike granular date products.
- Enables refined-sugar and added-sugar reduction in liquid formulations.
Benefits for Commercial Manufacturing
- Liquid-System Fit: Dissolves and disperses cleanly where granular date sweeteners cannot, suiting beverages and liquid formulations.
- Multi-Functional: Acts as sweetener, humectant, and binder in one ingredient, potentially reducing separate inputs.
- Defined Brix Grades: Brix/viscosity options let manufacturers match dosing and concentration to the application.
- Batch Consistency: Controlled concentration supports consistent Brix, color, and flavor across runs.
- Bulk Liquid Packaging: Available in liquid bulk formats for manufacturers and co-packers.
- Supply Continuity: Multi-origin sourcing supports availability and reduces single-region dependency.
- Documentation Support: COAs, specifications, allergen statements, and origin documentation available on request.
