The Manufacturing Process of potato chips Making

The potatoes selected for wafers should be large oval shape free from disease & fully grown. potatoes should have the minimum numbers of eyes to cut down the losses by trimming. potatoes are before peeling them with the help of a peeler. (for moder details of Potato Peeler Click Here) Then these potatoes are trimmed and put in brine water for 30-35 minutes to prevent browning.

Then slice are kept in water containing 0.05% potassium metabisulphite to avid oxidation. The slice are blanched for 3 to 5 minutes in boiling water and spread on trays at the rate of 4.88 kg to 7.30 kg per square meter tray surface, The blanched chips are then subject to hydro Extracting machine (Centrifugal) to remove excess of water and fried in edible oil at 140-240° c, for 3-4 minutes. The fried potato wafer are then kept on sieve to remove excess of oil. The fried chips are then subject to hydro Extracting machine (Centrifugal) to remove excess of oil.
