Dehydrated Garlic Flakes- Manufacturing Process

Dehydrated Garlic Flakes- Manufacturing Process
Dehydrated Vegetables have a huge and
ever-growing market. They are easy to preserve
for a long period whilst sustaining their natural
goodness. Preserving vegetables in a dehydrated
form is not a new practice. Even in the olden
days, people used to preserve dehydrated
vegetables by sun-drying them. But although
natural, the dehydration process was not as
hygienic as today. In contemporary times,
dehydration is carried out in a sterilised
environment that is very healthy. The procedure
involves several kinds of machines which help in
dehydrating huge amounts of vegetables in a
go. There are numerous manufacturers of garlic
flakes but Mevive International has carved a
niche for itself as one of the leading
manufacturers of dehydrated garlic flakes in
India. Manufacturing dehydrated garlic flakes is
one of the many other dehydrated vegetables that
Mevive has included in its list. But what sets
Mevive apart from the other manufacturers is the
extensive procedure of dehydration and state of
art machinery employed for the same.

Manufacturing Process Many Indian states like
Rajasthan and MP are known to cultivate one of
the finest garlic species in the world. Mevive
makes sure to procure the best grade garlic
across India. Here's a brief description of the
entire procedure followed by Mevive to bring the
best-dehydrated garlic flakes. Sourcing Fresh
Garlic The procedure begins with sourcing fresh
and high-quality garlic in bulk quantities from
across India. After procuring garlic in bulk
quantities, it has to be stored in a hygienic
and safe environment. Mevive makes sure to store
the garlic in a hygienic and pest-safe
environment. Cleaning Washing The
best-quality farm-fresh garlic is passed through
the vibrating pre-cleaner. A vibrating
pre-cleaner is a machine that vibrates to remove
the loosened skin and dirt of the garlic bulbs.
Afterwards, the garlic bulbs are broken into
cloves with the help of a garlic clove separator
machine. They are washed thoroughly before being
pushed into a vibrating screen cleaner. The
garlic cloves are taken to the soaking tank to
wash them thoroughly. After that, they are
transported via a conveyor belt to the vibrating
screen cleaner. The partially cleaned garlic
cloves are then taken into an oscillator
separator for further cleaning. The oscillator
separator removes the unwanted particles along
with the useless granules, rotten garlic, garlic
stalk, and other impurities. Peeling Peeling
the garlic is the most tedious of all the tasks.
The peeling of garlic is however a crucial part
of the process. The garlic peeling machine is
capable of peeling a humongous amount of garlic
swiftly. Sorting

The gravity separator machine separates the
garlic by weight. The cloves carrying weight
below a marked value are weeded out, and any
underweight foreign particles are sorted out.
Then they're carried into a dehydrator
hooper. Dehydration Process The chief
speciality of dried garlic flakes is the complete
absence of moisture. The complete absence of
moisture helps in storing the dehydrated garlic
flakes for a long time. So even a trace of
moisture can make them rot. The dehydration
hooper machine removes the slightest trace of
moisture leaving the garlic completely
dry. Colour Sorting The garlic flakes are then
sorted out based on colour. The garlic flakes
which is chosen range from golden to brown. The
granules with other colours are sorted out. It is
mandatory to maintain the same tone of the
chosen colours. Black coloured burnt dry garlic
flakes are removed. Metal Detection This part
of the procedure is carried out to sort out the
metal particles if there are any. This is the
final automated part of the process. Manual
Inspection The last step of the procedure is
manual visual sorting where the manpower is
employed to sort out visually unappealing dried
garlic flakes. Packaging After the garlic
dehydration is over, The golden coloured dried
garlic flakes are packed in a 25 kg polybag with
an inner liner. The shelf life of dehydrated
garlic flakes is 1 year long which is way too
much than the natural garlic. Garlic flakes are
stored in a cool or dry place, temperature below
20 C should be kept in a closed warehouse.

That's why the pickles, masala, Ready-to-cook,
instant foods, and seasoning companies are
relying on dehydrated garlic flakes more than
anything else.
