Elea Pulsed Electric Field system creates smooth-cut, low-fat potato chips

Saturday, 31 January, 2015 | Supplied by: Elea


Oil uptake in snack products such as potato crisps is dependent on product characteristics and process conditions, including frying time, temperature, product shape and surface.

A conventional potato slice has a ‘feathered’ surface, which increases uptake of frying oil. Elea’s Pulsed Electric Field system produces potato slices with a smooth surface, which inhibits oil uptake. The company claims a reduction of up to 25% in oil uptake has been observed, while maintaining crispness and mouthfeel.

The physical process allows for the production of low-fat snack products without the use of fat replacers.
