METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SWEET POTATO CHIPS

摘要

A method for manufacturing starting material for dried sweet potato chips comprises heating raw sweet potatoes at a temperature ranging from 70 DEG to 100 DEG C. for 180 to 8 minutes to adjust hardness of the sweet potatoes to 1,800 to 12,000 and then slicing the heated sweet potatoes to a desired thickness. The sweet potato slices are further subjected to a second heat treatment to convert starches present therein to alpha -starches and then dried as such or after freezing to obtain dried sweet potato chips edible as a snack food.
