Dehydrated Garlic and Onion from the Same Supplier: What Changes and What Does Not

Most buyers of dehydrated onion also buy garlic, and most Mahuva plants dry both, but garlic is not onion with a stronger smell: a different region and calendar, twice the dry matter, its own residues, colour and flavour chemistry, and its own price cycle.

Pesticide Residues in Dehydrated Onion: EU MRLs and How Suppliers Test

Residues are the test most likely to fail an otherwise perfect lot, and the one where arithmetic matters as much as chemistry: an MRL set on fresh onion, a product concentrated eight times by drying, and laboratories that apply the factor differently.
