Fruit and vegetable chips is a general term for fruit chips and vegetable chips. The taste is crispy, different flavors, wholesome, suitable for all ages. It preserves the pure natural color, nutrition and flavor of fresh fruits and vegetables, and has the characteristics of low fat, low calorie and high cellulose. Moreover, it has a long shelf life and a wide range of processing.

Fruit and vegetable chips production method

(1) Analyze from the perspective of cost. The cost of individual varieties in the production process is very high. There are two reasons for this phenomenon. One is the high cost of raw materials, such as edible fungus, which tastes delicious after being fried, and is very popular among consumers. However, the price of some edible fungi is high, and the cost burden is very heavy. Second, the utilization rate of some raw materials is low, resulting in too few finished products. For example, the yield of pineapple is only about 6%. Such a low yield will naturally lead to high costs. As a production-oriented enterprise, due to cost considerations, it will inevitably reduce high-cost products. The consequence is the limitation of processing varieties. Bulk raw materials with cheap prices and high utilization rates have become the favorites of processors. In addition, deep processing of by-products is also a way to reduce costs. A lot of broken, low-grade fruit and vegetable chips are reprocessed and sold as other products. The method and depth of processing should be considered by enterprises. The sales price in the market is still relatively high. In addition to the unique advantages of the product itself, the basis for pricing is mainly based on cost. As costs decrease, product market pricing decreases. The market competitiveness of products is stronger.

(2), from the perspective of technology to analyze. For product quality, the importance of craftsmanship is beyond doubt. After the factory equipment and other hardware are in place, the impact of hardware on product quality improvement is already limited. The main thing is to make a fuss about the craftsmanship. Many problems in product quality are caused by imperfect craftsmanship and inadequate control. These problems cannot be attributed to equipment factors. As production progresses, process improvements are bound to exist. The processing technology of the new fruit and vegetable chip factory will be relatively simple. However, with the deepening of production, more and more varieties are processed, and the situation becomes more and more complicated. Process control points will increase accordingly. That is to say, the process has a tendency to change from simple to complex. With the development of science and technology and the improvement of the whole industry level, more and more new technologies, new methods, new additives and auxiliary materials have been applied. More unreasonable processes will be improved. The quality of the product tends to be more stable, and the degree of naturalness will also increase.

(3) Analyze from the perspective of raw materials. Fruit and vegetable raw materials have a variety of processing methods. Preservation, drying, canning, sugaring, juice making, pickling, freezing, etc. are the main processing methods of fruit and vegetable raw materials, and fruit and vegetable chips are only one type of drying. In order to avoid risks, the fruit and vegetable chip factory will choose a variety of processing methods according to the processing characteristics. The fruit and vegetable crisp factory in the future is not only a product of fruit and vegetable crisps, there may be frozen products and sugar products.

Fruit and vegetable raw materials are seasonal. Although a part can be stored by fresh-keeping, freezing and other means, the cost will be increased accordingly, and the quality of raw materials will also be affected. Because of this feature, the single-variety packaging of products will tend to increase. Of course, assorted packaging will exist for a long time because of demand, but the quantity will decline.

Fruit and vegetable raw materials have regional characteristics, and the regional characteristics of some fruit and vegetable raw materials are particularly obvious. According to this characteristic, some manufacturers will process some raw materials with local characteristics. For example, some factories process tropical fruits, peppers, and winter jujubes. In the future, this feature will become more and more obvious.

The quality of fruit and vegetable crisps directly affects the market sales. Products with low oil content and no chemical additives will gradually become the mainstream. In the past, some products with significantly high oil content on the market will gradually be replaced by products with antioxidants . Truly healthy and green fruit and vegetable chips are the requirements of the market and consumers for manufacturers. Only by meeting this requirement can enterprises survive.
