A genuine mass-production system has started up, processing 100 kg of lotus root into powder and handling everything through to small-pouch filling in-house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lotus root powder had been offered mainly at the prototype stage, but in response to inquiries from several food manufacturers, we took the step of building a mass-production system. At our own processing facility in Kyoto Prefecture, we manage the entire process from washing, cutting, drying, and milling to filling the raw material, establishing a structure to deliver consistent quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lotus root powder is adopted for a wide range of uses, including as a kneading ingredient for Japanese confectionery and bread-making, a thickening ingredient for soups and potages, and a raw material for health foods. Because we also handle small-pouch filling, rollouts of retail-oriented products can proceed smoothly as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Agriture, we offer OEM manufacturing and commercial-ingredient proposals for dried vegetables and powders, including lotus root powder. Feel free to consult us about mass-production lots as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/wholesale-oem\/\" data-has-link=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">Dried turnip can be expected to attract commercial interest as a material for soups, simmered dishes, and pickles, and if processed into powder, it can also be used as a raw material for baby food and nursing-care food. Turnip's characteristic gentle flavor is a material well compatible with children's foods and products for the elderly.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Features of full lotus root powder production and the mass-production system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lotus root powder is an ingredient made by drying and milling lotus root, characterized by a chewy stickiness and a mild sweetness. Having gone through the prototype stage, Agriture has completed full production of 100 kg of raw material and started a mass-production system that can handle up to small-pouch filling. Familiar as a Japanese ingredient, it is drawing inquiries for a wide range of uses, including health foods, baby food, and gluten-free products. Basic specifications can be checked on the existing<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/powder\/lotusroot-powder\/\" data-type=\"link\">lotus root powder product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Overview of the mass-production system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full production of lotus root powder has been carried out in a 100 kg raw-material lot. Based on the track record of moving from prototype to mass production, we have organized a stable-supply structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Item<\/th><th>Details<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Full-production lot track record<\/td><td>Completed full production with 100 kg of raw material<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Filling handled<\/td><td>Handles small-pouch filling (included)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Raw materials<\/td><td>Domestic lotus root (Kaga lotus root, etc.)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quality control<\/td><td>Quality inspection and document issuance by the lot<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For origin-brand lotus root such as Kaga lotus root specifications, see the<a href=\"https:\/\/agriture.jp\/en\/product\/kaga-lotus-root\/\" data-type=\"link\">Kaga lotus root product page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-balloon\"><div class=\"c-balloon -bln-left\" data-col=\"gray\"><div class=\"c-balloon__body -speaking -border-none\"><div class=\"c-balloon__text\">\n<div class=\"speech-wrap sw-balloon__wrap sb-id-1 has-text-label\" data-balloon-lr=\"l\" data-balloon-type=\"talk\" data-balloon-name-pos=\"\">\n<figure class=\"speech-person\" data-voice=\"point\"><div class=\"speech-icon c-filterLayer\"><\/div><div class=\"speech-name\">You can check the details of turnip's powder form on the<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"speech-balloon\">Lotus root powder has completed full production of a 100 kg lot, and the small-pouch filling line is also operational. Because the finish was adjusted at the prototype stage, we have a structure that can smoothly handle repeat orders and lot increases. Because lotus root is high in sticky components, the setting of milling conditions directly affects the finish. Having a full-production track record is a strength, ensuring reproducibility of quality.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<span class=\"c-balloon__shapes\"><span class=\"c-balloon__before\"><\/span><span class=\"c-balloon__after\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lotus root powder is suited to product design that makes use of its stickiness, viscosity, and mild sweetness.
