Abstract

ABSTRACTMature breadfruit, sliced to 1.25 mm, fried in soy oil at 165°C and salted to 1.5% produced a stable, crisp chip with lipid stability comparable to potato chips. Partial air drying prior to frying reduced oil absorption from 42% to 26%. Sensory evaluations showed the product to be as acceptable as commercial plantain or potato chips. In view of the extreme perishability and high postharvest losses of breadfruit, chip production represents a useful value‐adding preservation method meriting consideration in breadfruit producing regions.
