Since the introduction of Pulsed Electric Field systems to the Food Industry by ELEA, a lot of knowledge has been gained in understanding the day to day benefits of PEF on potato chips production.

Through the various global installations it has become clear that the benefits for chip producers are even better than previously known.

Besides the advantages with respect to the ease of cutting (super smooth surface) and reduced starch loss, the frying times have proven to be significantly reduced with reductions of up to 30% being common rather than the exception.

Moreover, there is at long last a simple method to reduce the oil uptake to levels of around 25%, resulting in a lower fat intake per serving while maintaining the desired mouth feel. But last but not least, the overall crispiness always improves.

“This is too good to be true” you might think when reading this article. Well….. it’s not!
