Dehydrated Onions (Powder, Flakes & Granules)
Why Onion Quality is Important? Dehydrated onion is widely used in food processing, seasoning, sauces, soups, snacks and spice blends. Dehydration removes moisture from fresh onions while preserving their natural flavour, aroma and taste. Onion contains natural sulfur compounds that contribute to its characteristic aroma and flavour. The quality of dehydrated onion depends on factors such as colour, moisture, size, aroma, flavour, cleanliness and microbial quality. High-quality dehydrated onion should have a natural white-to-light colour, pleasant aroma, good flavour and uniform texture. Dehydrated onion is available in different forms, including flakes, slices, minced onion, granules and onion powder. Proper dehydration and storage are essential to maintain the flavour, colour, texture and shelf life of dehydrated onion.
