Frequently Asked Questions

for our Dehydrated White Onion

What makes Indian Dehydrated White Onion superior to other origins?

Indian white onions, particularly from the Mahuva region in Gujarat, are globally renowned for their high Total Soluble Solids (TSS) and intense pungency. The specific "white" varieties grown here have a lower moisture content naturally, which results in a better dehydration ratio (typically 1:10), superior storage stability, and a potent flavor profile that remains robust even after rehydration.

What is the difference between Chopped, Minced, and Granules?

The primary difference is particle size and intended application. Chopped (3-5mm) provides a visible onion texture perfect for salsas and chunky sauces. Minced (1-3mm) is smaller and uniform, ideal for ground meat mixtures and dressings. Granules (40-60 Mesh) are free-flowing and sand-like, used for surface seasoning on snacks or in spice blends where flavor is needed without distinct pieces.

How do I rehydrate the onion flakes properly?

To rehydrate, soak the onion flakes or chopped onion in cool water for approximately 15-20 minutes. The standard rehydration ratio is 1:4 or 1:5 (1 part onion to 4-5 parts water). Once rehydrated, they regain the texture and volume of fresh chopped onions and can be used directly in cooking. Powder and granules do not require pre-soaking and release flavor instantly.

What are the storage requirements to maintain the white color?

Dehydrated white onion is sensitive to heat and moisture. To prevent "pinking" or browning (Maillard reaction) and caking, product must be stored in a cool, dry place below 20°C (68°F) with relative humidity below 65%. We recommend using the original moisture-barrier packaging and keeping pallets away from direct sunlight.

Can you supply Steam Sterilized or Irradiated onion products?

Yes, for Ready-to-Eat (RTE) applications or strict low-micro requirements, we offer sterilization options. Steam Sterilization uses heat to reduce microbial load without chemicals, while Irradiation is highly effective for complete sterilization. Both methods ensure the product meets strict international food safety standards for Salmonella and E. coli.

What is the shelf life difference between Flakes and Powder?

Flakes and Chopped forms typically have a longer shelf life of 24 months because they have less surface area exposed to oxidation. Onion Powder, due to its fine grind and high surface area, is more hygroscopic (absorbs moisture easily) and prone to caking, so it typically carries a 12-month shelf life recommendation under standard conditions.
