Abstract:
In India around 12 million tonnes of
potato is grown which is about 4% of
the total world production. However, the
per capita consumption of potatoes is
low. It is estimated that 25% of the
potatoes, which are spoiled due to
various reasons such as transportation,
type of packing, non-availability of cold
storage capacities during harvesting
season, glut in the market etc., could
be saved by making various preserved
potato products. Potato wafer is one of
such products which has a great
potential as this is considered as one of
the traditional foods of India. Potato
wafers are needed to be made in a
scientific manner and under hygienic
conditions.
