Abstract

Dehydration of potatoes by oven drying method and products obtained were studied for shelf-life over a period of 6 months. A simple processing method applied yielded good quality sticks, chips, gratings, flours and soji. The shelf-life study showed negligible infestation by insects and fungi. Aluminium containers and sealed polyethylene pouches were suitable for storage.
