Admixture in Dried Ginger: No More than 0.5%

When importing dried ginger, there are many specifications that importers care about. Such as size, kind, moisture content, oil content… Among them, admixture in dried ginger is also an important factor. To be qualify for the standards for export, producers have to reduce the admixture rate in dried ginger as low as possible. It means, the more clean dried ginger, the better. Let’s discover admixture in dried ginger in the following post!

1. Harvesting Fresh Ginger

Initially, the production process for Vietnamese dried ginger begins with harvesting ginger roots. Ginger is typically harvested at its peak maturity, around 8 – 9 months old. The ginger root (the rhizome) boasts the most concentrated flavor and aroma. After harvesting, farmers remove the roots and leaves carefully. Then the ginger roots undergo a thorough washing process to ensure they are free of dirt and debris before moving on to the drying stage.

2. Process Dried Ginger: Cleaning process

Why admixture rate in Dried Ginger is low?

To be qualify for the standards for export, producers have to reduce the admixture rate in dried ginger as low as possible. It means, the more clean dried ginger, the better it is. Ginger is the roots under the ground, therefore it contains many dirt. Producers have to use modern machine to wash away all dirt. Due to the thorough cleaning process, this step reduces the admixture of ginger. It can ensure removing almost dirt, and and foreign objects on the ginger roots. Normally, the admixture rate in dried ginger is at 0.5% max. Then, they let washed ginger dried to move to the next step of process – drying process.

Sun drying method

Traditionally, Vietnam ginger is sun-dried. This method involves spreading the washed ginger in direct sunlight. Even drying is crucial, so people need to turn the ginger regularly throughout the process. While sun-drying produces a high-quality product, it has limitations. The drying time is highly dependent on weather conditions, and there’s a risk of contamination from dust or insects. People keep drying ginger until it reaches the desired moisture, normally about 11 – 13%.

Machine drying method

Modern drying methods offer an alternative to sun-drying. Mechanical dryers utilize controlled temperature and airflow to remove moisture from the ginger quickly and efficiently. This method offers several advantages, including faster drying times and a more controlled environment that minimizes the risk of contamination. However, mechanical drying also comes with drawbacks, such as higher energy consumption and the initial investment cost when purchasing and maintaining the dryers.
