Dehydrated onion powder retains many nutritional benefits of fresh onions, including:

• Rich source of natural antioxidants like quercetin
• Contains vitamins such as Vitamin C and B6

• Cleaning & Peeling: Onions are thoroughly washed and peeled to remove outer layers and impurities.
• Slicing or Dicing: Preparing onions for uniform drying by slicing or chopping as per product specifications.
• Dehydration: Drying is performed using hot air or vacuum drying methods to reduce moisture content while preserving flavor and nutrients.
• Grinding & Sieving: Dried onions are milled to required particle sizes (powder, granules, flakes).
• Quality Control & Packaging: Products are tested for moisture, purity, and microbiological safety before being packaged in moisture-proof, airtight containers.

Quality Standards and Grading

Quality grading for dehydrated onion powder includes assessments of:

• Moisture content (ideally below 6%)
• Particle size uniformity

These standards guarantee a premium product suitable for food manufacturing, seasoning blends, snack flavoring, and culinary uses.
