Potato chips manufacturing process

薯片是以马铃薯为原料，经过一系列工序加工而成的油炸薯片。薯片的加工大致由清洗、脱皮、切片、去淀粉、脱水、油炸、脱脂、调味、包装等组成。

• 清洗去皮就是将土豆泥清洗干净，去掉土豆皮。

• 切片机将去皮后的土豆切成大小均匀的土豆片。专业土豆切片机切出的土豆片厚度、大小均匀。市场上流行的薯片尺寸一般为3~7mm。

• 不同类型的土豆含有不同量的淀粉。为了获得油炸薯片的良好口感，需要将薯片焯烫，以除去土豆中的淀粉。

• 脱水后即可放入薯片油炸机中进行油炸。薯片的油炸温度一般为160~180摄氏度，油炸时间为2~3分钟。

• 油炸后，用脱油机除去薯片表面多余的油脂，以保持薯片的良好口感。

• 薯片的浓郁口感是通过添加不同的调味料获得的。

• 经过调味，薯片的制作就基本结束了。但为了方便薯片的运输和储存，通常需要采用薯片包装来进行包装。
