Onion dehydration

Dehydrated vegetables are being increasingly used as they retain Their culinary quality and palatability, and bring about economy In storage space and transport cost. Besides, there is optimum Utilization of the product during the glut season, and saving of Packaging material and tinplate. Dehydrated onion is used Extensively in overseas countries as a condiment. Efforts are Also being made for export of dehydrated onions, which is being Produced by several manufacturers. This standard is intended to Help in the quality control of dehydrated onion. Dehydrated Onions have been produced in small quantities since the Nineteenth century is dehydrated onions were supplied to british Naval expeditions in the mid-nineteenth century and dehydrated Onions have been produced in sizable quantities during subsequent Wars, primarily for consumption by armed forces, but also for civilian use. Since the quality of these products when Rehydrated compared unfavorably with fresh vegetables or other Types of processed onions, their usage declined rapidly after Each war.

At the same time the demand for convenience foods have Been increasing and dehydrated onions have benefited accordingly.
