Description

Dehydrated pink onion flakes are produced in Mahuva, Bhavnagar district — the hub that processes the majority of India's dehydrated onion. Light-red skinned onion is washed, topped and tailed, peeled, sliced and dried in multi-stage hot-air belt dryers down to a maximum 5-6% moisture, then graded over vibratory sieves to separate the flake fraction from fines. The flake is the largest presentation of the product: flat, petal-like slices that stay visible in the finished dish rather than dissolving into it. That makes flakes the format of choice for instant noodle and cup-soup vegetable sachets, dry soup and bouillon mixes, pizza toppings, pickle and chutney bases, retail spice packs and ready-meal components, where the buyer is paying for visible onion identity. Pink sits deliberately between the two other colour grades: white onion carries the highest solids and sharpest pungency and is used where no colour may transfer; red is the most pungent and most strongly pigmented, favoured for meat, BBQ and marinade work; pink gives medium pungency with natural sweetness and only low colour carry-over, at a materially lower cost than white. Quality control covers moisture, SO2, extraneous matter, peroxidase and a full microbiological panel, with metal detection and colour sorting before packing.
