Products and Quality
Mesh sizes, shelf life, ingredients, custom formulations, and quality testing.
What mesh sizes are available for your dehydrated powders?
ThermDry offers standard mesh sizes of 60 to 80 mesh and 80 to 100 mesh on most dehydrated powders. Finer grinds up to 120 mesh are produced on request for beverages, nutraceuticals, and instant mix applications. Custom particle size distributions can be produced against a specification sheet. Confirm the required mesh size when requesting a quote.
What is the shelf life of ThermDry dehydrated powders?
Most ThermDry dehydrated powders carry a shelf life of 12 to 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a cool, dry place below 25°C in sealed, food grade packaging. Moisture content is held below 5 percent, which suppresses microbial growth naturally without preservatives. Exact shelf life per product is printed on every batch label and Certificate of Analysis.
Are ThermDry powders free from additives and preservatives?
Yes. All ThermDry dehydrated powders are 100 percent natural with no added preservatives, artificial colours, synthetic flavours, or anti caking agents. The thermal dehydration process reduces moisture content to below 5 percent, which preserves the powder naturally. Every batch is tested for microbial load, yeast and mould, and heavy metals before release.
Do you offer custom formulations, blends, or private label?
Yes. ThermDry produces custom powder blends, adjusts mesh size and particle distribution, and modifies packaging to match buyer specifications. Typical custom work includes ratio blends for instant mixes, finer grinds for beverage premixes, and retail pouches with buyer branding. Share your specification sheet or target application with the sales team for a formulation quote.
How does ThermDry ensure product quality and batch consistency?
Every ThermDry batch is tested for moisture, total plate count, yeast and mould, heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), and organoleptic properties including colour, taste, and aroma. A Certificate of Analysis accompanies every shipment. Raw material is sourced from verified farms in Gujarat and Maharashtra, with traceability maintained from farm gate to finished batch.
