POTATO CHIPS CAP: 2 TON/DAY

When American-style potato chips were introduced in Great Britain in the 1920s, to avoid confusion with the established term “chip potatoes” they were called potato crisps or simply crisps. Over time, though, these clearly drawn distinctions became blurred. For instance, British-style batter-fried fillets and fried potatoes have become popular in the United States and Canada, and even on the western side of the Atlantic they’re called “fish and chips.” Similarly, when thin French fries—along with hamburgers and other American fast foods—went global, the word “fries” became the standard term in many English-speaking countries (at least in fast-food outlets). Likewise, as American snack foods were marketed overseas, the term potato chips was adopted throughout the world, even in the United Kingdom—although most people there do still call them “crisps.”

The creators of novel potato-based snacks have introduced some new coinages to the world of chips and crisps. In 1967, General Mills introduced Chipos, said to be tastier, crisper, lighter, and less oily because they were fried much faster than traditional potato chips. Two years later Procter & Gamble introduced Pringles, made from dehydrated and reconstituted potatoes. Pringles are uniform in size and shape, so they can be stacked and packaged in a tube. Chipos didn’t make the cut as a commercial product. Pringles were a tremendous success and are sold all over the world, but apparently the time has not arrived for them to be enshrined in an Oxford dictionary.

Potato is widely consumed as food all over the world. Cooked potatoes, in various forms are offered in restaurants and refreshment stalls and variety of processed potato products are available in the market.  Surplus and cull potatoes are used as feed for livestock and also as raw material for the manufacture of starch, ethyl alcohol and a few other industrial products.

Potatoes are consumed not only as a fresh vegetable, but also in a variety of processed forms.  Dehydrated potato products have been known for long and are especially valued because they afford convenience for use; they have good storage stability and are relatively any to transport.  In recent  years,  there  has been,  a  great spurt in the consumption of  processed  products, such  as  potato chips, dehydrated meshed  potatoes,  and  frozen potato products.

Potato chips are basically used for snacks purposes. They are produced by rapid dehydration of potato slices by direct contact with hot fact.  Its crispness and special palatability make it the favorite of people of all age group.
Different varieties of potatoes are usually used for chips.  In India, almost all part of the country produces it but the main share of the total production comes from Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal & Orissa.
