Your Contract Partner in Dried Product Manufacturing
The drying process, which preserves the nutritional values and natural aromas of fruits, vegetables, and herbs for longer storage, is a traditional method used for thousands of years. Today, this method forms the foundation of the modern food industry, offering a wide range of dried products from healthy snacks to cooking ingredients. Consumers are increasingly preferring natural, additive-free, and reliable dried products.
At Ontad, we produce the highest quality dried fruit, vegetable, and herb products for your brand through a contract manufacturing model. With our advanced drying ovens and expert team, we ensure high-standard production, preserving the natural taste and nutritional value of your products.
Ontad’s Quality and Hygiene Difference in Dried Product Manufacturing
A successful drying process begins with the correct selection of raw materials and a controlled drying process. Ontad’s production process stands out with its unyielding commitment to quality:
- Raw Material Selection and Pre-processing: The freshest fruits and vegetables sourced from our supplier network are meticulously sorted, washed, and sliced before entering our production line. At this stage, the quality and cleanliness of the products are ensured at the highest level.
- Advanced Technology Drying Ovens: Unlike traditional sun-drying, our modern ovens dry products at controlled temperature and humidity levels. This ensures that color, aroma, and nutritional values are best preserved.
- Laboratory Analyses and Moisture Control: The drying process, one of the most critical stages of production, is continuously monitored by our laboratory:
- Moisture Content Measurement: Regular measurements are taken to ensure the products reach their ideal moisture content. This is vital for the product’s shelf life and quality.
- Water Activity (aw) Analysis: The water activity value is a critical parameter for inhibiting microbiological growth. The safety of our products is guaranteed by these analyses.
- Color and Aroma Analysis: The color and aroma of the dried products are examined for compliance with standards.
- Microbiological Analyses: Rigorous tests are applied to ensure that the products do not contain any pathogens or spoilage microorganisms.
- Hygienic Production Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Drying, packaging, and storage areas are designed to prevent cross-contamination.
