Dehydrated Onion Powder · Food-Grade Onion for Seasonings, Sauces, Soups & Dry Mixes

Key characteristics

• Ingredient type: dehydrated onion powder made from onions.
• Sensory profile: characteristic onion aroma and taste; intensity varies with origin and processing.
• Particle size options:
  • Common fine mesh grades for uniform dispersion in mixes and coatings,
  • Coarser powder options where reduced dusting or slower release is preferred.
• Functional behavior:
  • Rapid dispersion and flavor release in water-based and cooked systems,
  • Uniform flavor coverage in snack coatings and seasoning blends.
• Processing compatibility:
  • Dry blending and premixes,
  • Wet marinades and sauces (as a dispersion component),
  • Thermal processing in soups, sauces and ready meals.

Atlas can help match onion powder mesh to your blend behavior, dust-control approach and target flavor intensity.

Indicative specification points

Specifications are agreed per grade and destination requirements. Typical control points include:

• Moisture: controlled to support shelf stability and reduce caking.
• Mesh / particle size distribution: defined by sieve profile and agreed grading method.
• Color and appearance: typical off-white to pale golden depending on grade and onion type.
• Foreign matter control: defined cleaning and sorting targets.
• Microbiological quality: limits suitable for dry seasoning and food processing applications.
• Contaminants: heavy metals and other parameters within required limits for destination markets.

Each lot is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and specification sheet. Additional documentation can include allergen statements, GMO status (where applicable), origin declarations and compliance documentation requested for destination markets.

Seasoning blends and snack coatings

• Snack seasonings: uniform onion coverage on chips, extruded snacks and nuts.
• Dry spice blends: onion base notes in savory and ethnic seasoning systems.
• Instant seasoning sachets: consistent flow and fill behavior when mesh is matched to the blend.

Soups, sauces and dry mixes

• Instant soups and noodle seasonings: rapid flavor release during reconstitution.
• Sauce powders and gravy mixes: onion notes with controlled dosage and dispersion.
• Ready-meal seasoning packets: stable onion flavor in dry components.

Meat, poultry and marinades

• Dry rubs and marinades: fast hydration and flavor delivery in wet systems.
• Processed meats: onion seasoning support in sausages and prepared meat products.

Usage and processing guidance

• Mesh and dust control:
  • Finer mesh improves dispersion but may increase dusting; align with your dust-control practices,
  • Coarser mesh can reduce dust and improve flow in some blends.
• Blending and segregation:
  • Match particle size with other ingredients where possible,
  • Use validated mixing and packaging to maintain uniformity.
• Dispersion in wet systems:
  • Pre-blend into a portion of dry ingredients or disperse in water phase where suitable,
  • Optimize mixing time to prevent lumping.
• Sensory optimization:
  • Adjust dosage to prevent harshness, especially in delicate sauces and dairy-style systems,
  • Combine with garlic and herb components for rounded savory profiles.
• Compliance and labeling:
  • Typically labeled as “dehydrated onion” or “onion powder” depending on market conventions.

Quality and documentation

• Supplied as dehydrated onion powder with agreed specification targets for moisture, mesh profile, microbiology and foreign matter control.
