POTATO CHIPS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L19/18 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to food industry, specifically to potato chips. Potato chip is a potato slice with a thickness between 0.040 inches and 0.080 inches which has been washed and fried to a moisture content below about 2 wt% to produce said potato chip. Surface Oil Difference for a potato chip is 0.5 or greater. Oil distribution between the interior and exterior of a potato slice is quantified by subtracting the oil content in the middle third from the average of the oil contents in the outer thirds, dividing that by the average of the oil contents of the outer thirds. Surface Oil Difference is defined as average of oil contents of outer thirds minus oil content of inner third divided by average of oil contents of outer thirds. Potato chip comprises a first rapid visco analyser (RVA) peak and a second RVA peak, wherein the value (second RVA peak/first RVA peak) is between 0.25 and 0.45, and wherein said first RVA peak is between 6000 and 8100.

EFFECT: organoleptic properties of the inventive potato chips compare favourably to known and commercially available potato chips.
