POTATO FINGER CHIPS PLANT PROJECT

India is having good production of Potato. This vegetable is mainly used for making curry across India. Fried Potato Chips are also popular especially when multinational Company entered Indian market. Basically Potato carries enormous amount of Starch , some Protein , little fat and rich in mineral, vitamin. Extruded products are not much popular in India. This product attracted products like fried Potato Chips, Dehydrated Potato Chips and Coloured Potato Flour can be manufactured..

potato is converted into different commercial products and marketed in India by large scale MNCs, Medium scale & Small Scale local units. The demand for Potato products such as Potato Chips & other products goes up every year due to growth in purchase power of people.

 

Extruded Potato snacks are developed in western countries. Dehydrated potato flour, modified starch, palm oil, and other ingredients are mixed into a mixer in pre-decided quantity up to required dough-consistency. It is then extruded through cooker-extruder to produce chips, cubes, sticks and granules of required size and shape. Extruded snacks are allowed to dry in a belt drier to required moisture-level. The dried products are either fried or packed. Frying is carried out in a fryer where chips are deep-fat fried. Salt, 3 flavouring, colours and preservatives are added during mixing. Hence, no need to add these ingredients during frying. Fryer must be semi-automatic or automatic type in which one can achieve desired frying temperature and recirculation of oil is possible. Fried chips are cooled and packed.

– Uniform size shapes are die-cut from extruded sheet where low pressure extrusion provides a variety of shape with consistent density and continuous operation.

– Controlled temperature continuous frying is done to get uniform quality and golden yellow

appearance with consistent Crispy taste.

– Automatic packaging in Nitrogen filled moisture proof boxes or in colorful Multilayer Plastic film Pouches for longer shelf life.
