Oil stripping fryer unit

Номер: US20120156359A1
Принадлежит: Frito Lay North America Inc

A continuous oil fryer used to fry food slices, such as potato chips, having an internal oil stripping capability. The fryer accumulates the steam produced by the frying process in a hood and utilizes such steam, after superheating the steam by passing it through a heat exchanger, to strip oil from product immediately upon removal from the hot oil bath by passing the superheated steam through a product bed while on an output conveyor. The superheated steam removes oil from the product on the output conveyor without increasing the moisture level of the product. The fryer therefore accomplishes the same function as a low-oil stripper without increasing the footprint of the frying unit and with less energy.

Fabricated food product made from fresh potato mash

Номер: US20120207892A1
Принадлежит: Frito Lay North America Inc

A composition and method for providing a strong dough having a substantial quantity of fresh potatoes. Fresh potatoes are made into a mash and centrifuged to reduce the water content to about 70% by weight. Such potato mash can comprise over 50% by weight of the final dough. This dough can be used to make sheeted or extruded products. Such dough results in improved, more naturally-flavored products compared to products made entirely from dehydrated or partially-dehydrated potato derivatives. The method comprises finely slicing potatoes to form a potato slurry or mash; decanting excess water from the potato slurry; heating the potato slurry to a temperature no greater than about 190 degrees Fahrenheit; cooling the slurry to under 140 degrees Fahrenheit; and imparting a low amount of work input to a mixture of the slurry and other ingredients to form a shapeable dough.

Equipment and process for preparation of food products having closed loop continuous shapes

Номер: US20130059044A1
Автор: Alan Thorpe
Принадлежит: Cavendish Farms Corp

To cut food material, in particular potatoes and sweet potatoes, into continuous close-loop shapes, a cutting blade assembly is used. The cutting blade assembly consists of an outer and at least one inner concentrically arranged cutting blade, where each cutting blade has a close-loop cross-sectional shape. The space between adjacent cutting blades forms a cutting tube. The cutting tubes ultimately form the cross-sectional shapes of the cut food material. Supports, such as blade guides and plungers are slidably positioned between the cutting blades in the cutting tubes. These supports maintain the distance between adjacent cutting blades and assist in separating cut food material from the cutting blades. This cutting blade assembly may be used in a method and system for cutting food material into continuous close-loop shapes.

Method for Reducing Oil Content of Fried Potato Chips

Номер: US20190075828A1
Автор: Fan Liuping, JIA Bo, Li Jinwei
Принадлежит: JIANGNAN UNIVERSITY

Disclosed is a method for reducing the oil content of fried potato chips. According to the method, potatoes are used as raw materials, which are washed, peeled and cut into chips and are subjected to an ion blanching. The potato chips are then coated with a mixed solution of guar gum and sorbitol, and the potato chips are fried after coating. Calcium ions in blanching liquid can chemically react with low-methoxyl pectin contained in the potato chips to form a bridged structure. The calcium ions may also interact with guar gum to facilitate the escape of moisture and reduce the entry of oil during the frying process. Addition of sorbitol can further improve the structure of the coating membrane of guar gum to effectively reduce the oil content without significant influence on the moisture content and other qualities of the final products. 1. A method for preparing fried potato chips , comprising using a calcium ion solution for blanching , and a mixed solution of guar gum and sorbitol as a coating agent.2. The method of claim 1 , comprising the steps of:1) washing fresh potatoes thoroughly, peeling the potatoes, and cutting the potatoes into uniform potato chips;2) blanching the potato chips by transferring them to a 0.3%-0.7% calcium ion solution, and incubating for 3-6 minutes at a temperature of 80-95° C.;3) coating the blanched potato chips in step (2) with a mixed solution containing 0.8%-1.2% of guar gum and 1%-5% of sorbitol by mass percentage, and incubating for 2-5 minutes at a temperature of 38-45° C.; and4) frying the coated potato chips at normal atmospheric pressure and a temperature of 160-190° C. for 2-7 minutes.3.
