Abstract

Nutritional losses were determined during preparation of solar dehydrated potato chips in Kufri Jyoti and solar dehydrated cubes in Kufri Jyoti and Kufri Chandramukhi. The losses varied from 73 to 86% in dehydrated chips and 71 to 78% in dehydrated cubes. Nutritional value of potato chips of different brands available in the market was quite low compared to that of raw potatoes with nutritional losses varying from 16–98%.
