Abstract

A technique was developed to impart
a porous structure to potato pieces. The
potato pieces were prepared in the
conventional manner and cooked. The
cooked pieces were subjected while hot
to a high vacuum for a short period.
The instant flashing of water vapor
from within the pieces creates a porous
structure which promotes quick dehydration.
The dried product o. porous
structure rehydrates on 5 min of
boiling in water.
