Product overview

Dehydrated carrot flakes: stable, colorful and convenient carrot inclusions

Carrot flakes are produced from sound carrots that are washed, peeled/trimmed, cut and dehydrated to a stable low-moisture level. The result is a shelf-stable ingredient that rehydrates in hot water and contributes recognizable vegetable pieces to finished products. Different cut sizes and thicknesses are used to match processing and final texture needs, from fine flakes for seasoning blends to larger pieces for soup mixes and ready meals.

Key characteristics

  • Ingredient: 100% carrot (Daucus carota), dehydrated (ingredients and processing may vary by producer).
  • Form: orange flakes; cut size and thickness tailored to application.
  • Color impact: provides natural orange color and visual vegetable identity.
  • Flavor: mild, slightly sweet carrot note; complements savory profiles.
  • Rehydration: rehydrates in hot water; rehydration rate depends on cut size and process conditions.
  • Handling: free-flowing under appropriate storage; suitable for blending and dry dosing.
  • Applications: soups, instant noodles, seasoning blends, snacks, ready meals, sauces and savory bakery.
  • Labeling: typically declared as “dehydrated carrot”, “dried carrot” or “carrot” depending on local regulations and finished product context.

Atlas supports customers with cut-size selection for visual impact, rehydration time and process compatibility (mixing, packing, extrusion, etc.).

Indicative specification points

Specifications vary by cut size and customer needs. Typical parameters include:

  • Cut size: flakes in defined ranges (e.g., fine, medium, coarse; customized cuts on request).
  • Moisture: low moisture for shelf stability (target range defined by specification).
  • Color: controlled for consistent orange appearance; seasonal variation managed via sorting and processing control.
  • Foreign matter: screened and sorted; controlled per quality plan.
  • Microbiology: limits set to meet food ingredient requirements (TPC, yeast & mold, pathogens as per standard).
  • Defects: limits for black/brown pieces, oversize/undersize and powder content as agreed.
  • Additives: typically none (confirm per grade); some supply chains may offer anti-caking or carrier systems only when requested.

Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and product specification. Additional documents (GMO status, allergen statements, origin, pesticide/contaminant statements, Halal/Kosher certificates where available) can be provided depending on producer and destination market requirements.

Applications

Applications for dehydrated carrot flakes: soups, instant noodles, seasonings, snacks and ready meals

Dehydrated carrot flakes are used across dry mixes and prepared foods to add vegetable identity, color and texture. Cut size selection and rehydration behavior should match your product format, processing and preparation instructions.

Soups, bouillons & dry mixes

  • Soup mixes – provide visible orange vegetable pieces and mild carrot flavor.
  • Bouillon and seasoning blends – fine flakes can add vegetable notes and color without high bulk.
  • Instant cup soups – designed to rehydrate quickly with hot water; cut size tuned for short prep time.

Instant noodles & convenience foods

  • Noodle seasoning sachets – flakes used for vegetable identity in dry seasoning.
  • Cup noodles – provides recognizable vegetable pieces that rehydrate in broth.
  • Instant rice and pasta dishes – used in dry meal kits for color and texture.

Ready meals & retort/frozen concepts

  • Dry meal bases – included in dry blends used in prepared meals and sauces.
  • Freeze-thaw and heat stability – evaluate in your process; cut size and hydration control are important.

Snacks & savory inclusions

  • Snack inclusions – used in extruded snacks and baked snacks for visual appeal (process-dependent).
  • Seasoned snacks – flakes can be part of vegetable seasoning blends for “vegetable” positioning.
  • Crackers and savory bakery – used in toppings and inclusions where dry stability is needed.

Sauces, dressings & culinary products

  • Dry sauce mixes and gravies – carrot flakes add subtle sweetness, color and vegetable identity.
  • Spice blends and culinary premixes – useful for clean-label vegetable enrichment in dry systems.

Formulation guidance

  • Choose cut size based on preparation time (cup soup vs. slow-cook), desired visual impact and texture.
  • Control segregation: blend density and particle size should match other dry ingredients to reduce separation.
  • Hydration tuning: pre-hydration is usually not needed for dry mixes, but pilot trials help optimize final bite and appearance.
  • Packaging: protect from moisture pickup; use moisture-barrier packaging and desiccants where appropriate.
  • Regulatory: confirm labeling terms, origin declarations and any contaminant/pesticide requirements for destination markets.
