Dry Ginger (Sonth): Pungency, Oil & Drying Standards
How sun-drying, volatile oil and gingerol levels define dry ginger quality for culinary, beverage and nutraceutical buyers.
Origin & Drying
Indian dry ginger is valued for strong pungency. Careful sun-drying to low moisture preserves the volatile oils and gingerol responsible for its characteristic bite.
Key Parameters
Buyers specify volatile oil content, moisture (max ~10%), and whether the rhizome is bleached or unbleached. Nutraceutical buyers focus on gingerol for functional applications.
Whole vs Powder
Whole dry ginger suits re-grinding and brewing; powder is supplied at agreed mesh for instant beverage and seasoning manufacturers.
Packing & MOQ
25 kg bags, palletised; MOQ from 3 MT.
