Laminating potato cracker
There are two types of potato crackers. Traditional crackers are baked and leavened with enzymes, while chemically made crackers are baked and leavened using chemicals. The difference in the two types is largely a matter of preference. Chemically leavened crackers contain more sugar and fat, while traditional crackers are more nutritious. Enzymes also affect the leavening process, and are responsible for the overall color, flavor, and cell size of the cracker.
Process of making potato chips
The Process of Making Potato Chips in a Factory. To produce quality potato chips, a factory must be equipped with advanced equipment. A potato chip manufacturing process involves several steps, each of which is important for the final product. First, the chips are fried in hot oil. Next, they are seasoned. Once the potatoes have reached the desired temperature, they are conveyed to the packaging line. Once they reach the packaging line, they are drained from excess oil. The chips are then automatically packaged into bags. Then, the chips are delivered to warehouses across the country, where they are sold to stores.
