Process of making a reduced oil snack chip |
摘要 |
A process for preparing a low-oil Masa-based snack chip is disclosed. Baked and proofed chip-shaped masa pieces are introduced in a substantially monolayered array into a continuous flow frier. The pieces are par-fried in oil, while being maintained in a substantially monolayered array, then finish fried until the moisture content thereof reaches a predetermined level. The finished masa pieces are removed from the frier in a substantially vertical orientation and contacted, while in a substantially vertical orientation, with super-heated steam, whereby oil is partially removed from the masa pieces. If necessary to attain a preselected final moisture content and to equilibrate moisture throughout the chip bed, the steam-contacted masa pieces are dehydrated to attain a snack chip with a preselected final moisture content.
