Onion Powder
Ingredient for Dry Mixes, Sauces and Soups
Onion powder is produced by finely milling dried onion and gives dry mixes a uniform onion note. It is used in instant soups, powdered sauces, seasoning blends, snack coatings and processed meat formulations without the water and preparation burden of fresh onion. PERDIST compares particle size, colour (light yellow-beige), moisture and microbiological values against the supplier specification for wholesale onion powder requests and forwards the documents with the quotation. For wholesale onion powder the expected colour, particle distribution and moisture are agreed before the quotation, and a sample with the analysis document is shared at the start. For dry-blend producers the pack size and delivery frequency follow the production plan. The quotation is issued together with quantity, packaging and delivery terms.
