Dehydrated White Onion Granules
Dehydrated White Onion Granules are made from fresh white onions that have been peeled, minced, dehydrated, and ground into uniformly sized granules.These granules retain the strong, pungent flavor and aroma of fresh onions and are ideal for use in spice mixes, seasoning blends, snack flavorings, dry soups, and processed foods. They offer excellent shelf life, convenience, and cost-efficiency, especially in bulk food production.
Premium-grade white onions are sourced, ensuring optimal maturity, freshness, and absence of defects. Onions are washed thoroughly to remove any dirt and foreign material, followed by mechanical peeling to remove the skin. Cleaned onions are finely chopped and minced to a uniform consistency, preparing them for drying.
The minced onion is dehydrated using controlled hot air drying methods (typically 60–70°C) until moisture content drops below 6%, preserving flavor and reducing microbial activity. The dried product is passed through food-grade milling machines to produce granules of desired mesh size (commonly 40–80 mesh). The granules are sieved to remove dust and ensure consistent particle size.
Every batch undergoes quality checks for moisture content, microbial load, color, and flavor. Compliance with standards like FSSAI, HACCP, FDA, or ISO is ensured .
