<p>The present invention relates to a process for digestible fat-free corn chips. The process for preparing the fat-free corn chips comprises: a) preparing raw corn chip pieces from a dough comprising a mixture of corn masa and a fat-free filler selected from the group consisting of starch, protein and nondigestible fiber, and mixtures thereof and water; b) cooking said raw corn chip pieces in nondigestible fat at 300 °F to 450 °F (148.9 °C to 232 °C); and c) optionally adding other ingredients that are essentially digestible fat-free. The corn snacks comprise from about 20 % to 45 % corn; 20 % to about 50 % fat-free filler; 23 % to 35 % of nondigestible fat; from 0 % to about 4 % moisture; and from 0 % to 10 % other essentially fat-free ingredients. Any residual or intrinsic digestible fat in the 30 gram serving is negligible and according to a recognized nutritional authority the serving is fat-free.</p> |
