Definitions
- the present disclosure generally relates to a high protein crispy food product and method for preparing the same.
- Snack food such as potato chips or crisps
- Snack food such as potato chips or crisps
- Examples of such products are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,973,481, U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,222, U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,684, U.S. Pat. No. 4,283,425, U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,982, U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,982, U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,982, U.S. Pat. No. 5,500,240, or GB Pat. No. 2290216.
- portions of 50 g-500 g of the potato chips or crisps are packed in hermetically sealed bags, and eaten, usually without heating, as a snack product. They can be optionally eaten with added seasoning or a dip.
- potato chips or crisps are prepared by thinly slicing potatoes, and the slices are deep-fried in hot oil at temperatures between 160-220° C.
- other variants are made out of potato starch and/or corn starch.
- the potato chips or crisps are then optionally salted and/or flavored. Good quality crisps tend to be dry and crispy.
- potato starch and/or corn starch other variants in shape have been designed, but most of those dry, savory starch-based snack products contain a fairly large amount of oil or fat, due to the manner of preparation.
- the conventional potato chips or crisps can, for example, have oil and fat up to 35% weight of the chips or crisps.
- Low fat chips can also be problematic in that they do not have a sufficiently reduced amount of fat or oil, and can often have a reduced amount of taste.
- the present invention is a tasty, reduced fat, crispy, crunchy snack food product with a high amount of protein and a method of producing the same.
- the snack food product can be, for example, a snack chip formed from turkey or chicken.
- the snack chips can be consumed at similar times and in a similar manner as conventional chips, yet having a reduced fat and high protein content and good quality.
- the snack chips can give a crispy feeling in the mouth allowing them to break easily upon eating, and not be too hard. They can also have a shape that is recognizable as chip or crisp alternative, and can have such a structural stability to allow packing a plurality of such products in a bag without excessive breakage of the products and without affecting the crispiness associated with chips or crisp.
- the snack chip of the present invention is a healthy snack alternative to conventional potato chips or crisps while retaining the shape, sensation, and flavors of the conventional potato chips or crisps.
- the snack chip can have a fat content of between 0-20% by weight, and preferably 0.1-20%, 0.1-10%, or 0.1-5% by weight.
- the snack chip can also have at least 40% and preferably 60% by weight, dry dough components of one or more potato, corn, or rice.
- the snack chip can also include 30-100% by weight wet dough components of turkey or chicken.
- the snack chip can also have a thickness of approximately 2-30 mm and preferably 3 to 10 mm, and also have a length and width of approximately 1-8 cm and preferably 2-6 cm.
- the snack chip can contain, on at least one side, a plurality of crinkles composed of two thin sheets enclosing a void.
- the two thin sheets can have a thickness of 0.05-1 mm, and preferably 0.05-0.6 mm or 0.1-0.4 mm.
- the void can be, for example, a gas such as air.
- the snack chip can also have a weight of approximately 0.1-8 g and more preferably 0.3-5 g or 0.5-3 g.
- the snack chips can be formed from dough containing 30-100% by weight wet dough products.
- the wet dough products can be, for example, chicken or turkey, allowing the dough to have a protein content equal to, or above 3% by weight.
- the dough can also have a moisture content of approximately 20-70% by weight, and more preferably 35-70% by weight, 45-65% by weight or 50-65% by weight.
- dry dough products such as corn masa, potatoes, or rice, can be mixed with the wet dough products.
- Other processes such as add back, or partial drying can also be used to reduce the moisture content.
- dry ice can also be added to the dough to sufficiently cool the dough to prevent it from sticking to the rollers.
- the rollers can also be treated, for example with a non-stick material, or chilled, to prevent the dough from sticking to the rollers.
- the dough can be formed in sheets of approximately 0.05-1 mm and preferably 0.05-0.6 mm, 0.1-0.6 mm, or 0.1-0.4 mm by forcing them through the rollers.
- the rollers can also cause the dough to be loosely folded and/or loosely partly laminated.
- the dough can then be cut into chips and the chips can be dried to a moisture content of 0-8% and preferably 0-6% to form the snack chips.
- the snack chips can be packaged such that they are not compressed.

- FIG. 9 depicts a sealed bag according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the present invention includes a snack chip 100 .
- the snack chip 100 is in a triangular shape.
- the snack chip 100 can have any suitable shape, such as a leaf shape, a saddle shape (concave-convex), a concave shape, or any other shape suitable for a snack product.
- the snack chip 100 can have, for example, a length L of between 1 and 8 cm.
- the snack chip 100 can also have, for example, a width W of between 1 and 8 cm.
- the snack chip 100 can also have a thickness T between 2 and 30 mm.
- the snack chip 100 preferably has a thickness T between 3 and 10 mm.
- the snack chip can be of any size and can have any length, width, or thickness which allows a user to consume the snack chip 100 .
- the snack chip 100 can include, for example, an increased amount of protein with ingredients such as potatoes, corn, rice, turkey, chicken, other poultry meat, and/or any other types of meat products.
- Other types of meat products can include, for example, beef, pork, and/or venison.
- the turkey, chicken, other poultry meat, and/or any other types of meat products increase the protein content of the snack chip 100 above a conventional potato chip. This can improve, for example, the nutritional value of the snack chip 100 over a conventional potato chip.
- the snack chip 100 can thus be formed, for example, from a process disclosed in FIG. 3 .
- the dough is prepared comprising potatoes, corn, and/or rice with a moisture content of approximately 20-70%, and more preferably 35-70% with a protein content equal to or greater than 3%.
- a dough 102 can be seen in FIG. 4 .
- the dough 102 can include, for example, a dry dough component 104 , a wet dough component 106 , and/or other ingredients 134 .
- the dry dough component 104 can include, for example, corn 108 , rice 110 , and/or potatoes 112 .
- the wet dough component 106 can include, for example, poultry products such as turkey 114 and/or chicken 116 .
- the turkey 114 and the chicken 116 can be in the form of turkey mash and chicken mash, respectively.
- the wet dough component 106 can also include other poultry products such as duck, geese, and/or quail.
- the dry dough component 104 and/or the wet dough component 106 can comprise 30-100% by weight of the dough. In one embodiment, the present invention can have the wet dough component 106 comprise 30-100% by weight of the dough 102 .
- the increased usage of turkey 114 and/or the chicken 116 over the corn 108 , the rice 100 , and/or the potato 112 can increase the taste and consumer appeal of the snack chip 100 . This can be particularly true if the turkey 114 and/or the chicken 116 are low in fat and/or have a pleasant, non-bitter poultry taste. In one embodiment, fresh 99% fat free turkey and/or chicken breast is preferably used for the turkey 114 and/or the chicken 116 . Furthermore, the increased usage of the turkey 114 and/or chicken 116 can improve a protein content of the dough and ultimately the snack chip 100 .
- the dough 102 can also include, for example, a moisture content of approximately 20-70% by weight. In one embodiment, the dough 102 is 20-70% by weight, and preferably includes a moisture content of 35-70% by weight or 45-65% by weight. In another embodiment, the dough 102 more preferably includes a moisture content of 50-65% by weight. If the dough 102 is too wet, the dough tends to stick to rollers during processing (which will be described later).
- a mash of the turkey 114 or the chicken 116 usually has a moisture content of approximately 80%. This may be too moist for the dough 102 and may cause the dough 102 to stick to the rollers. Thus, either the dough 102 needs to have its moisture content reduced or other methods must be used to ensure that the dough 102 does not stick to the rollers, such as by treating the dough and/or the rollers with non-stick substances and/or cooling the dough 102 and/or the rollers.
- a balancing and mixing of the wet dough component 106 including the turkey 114 or the chicken 116 , with the dry dough component from non-turkey or non-chicken origins, such as the corn 108 , the rice 110 , and/or the potato 112 can be performed.
- the corn 108 can be, for example corn masa.
- moisture can be removed, for example from the turkey 114 or the chicken 116 , through moisture reducing steps such as partial drying. If the dough 102 contains some oil or fat, a reduced amount of moisture content can be acceptable in order to achieve a good, machinable dough 102 .
- dry ice 114 can also be added to the dough 102 to cool the dough. This reduction in temperature can help reduce the stickiness of the dough 102 and reduce the likelihood of the dough 102 sticking to the roller.
- an add back process may be used in which cooked turkey 114 or cooked chicken 116 are reduced in moisture content by adding back enough previously drive granules to produce a sufficiently dry, yet moist mix which after holding can be satisfactorily granulated to a fine power.
- the fine powder can also include emulsifiers, anti-oxidants, colorants, and/or flavors.
- the other ingredients 134 can include, other type of material suitable to producing snack chip 100 .
- the other ingredients 134 can include vegetable matter preferably in the form dry powder.
- the dry powder can include, for example, herbs, spices, onion, dried tomato powder or purée, red bell pepper powder or purée, or any other types of powder or purée material.
- the other ingredients 134 can also include oils, salt, sugar, sweeteners, flavoring, vitamins, and/or supplements.
- the oil can, for example, help to prevent the dough 102 from sticking to the rollers.
- the dough 102 can include, for example, 0.1-5% salt, and/or 10% of sugar or other sweetener.
- the vitamins and/or supplements can increase, for example, the nutritional content of the snack chip 100 .
- the other ingredients 134 can be included in an amount of 0.1-30% and can be included into the dough 102 prior to forming.

- the rollers 118 and 120 can extrude the dough 102 with high enough pressure to flatten the dough 102 , but a low enough pressure to prevent the dough 102 from becoming too firm or having too hard of a texture.
- any other device capable of flattening or extruding the dough 102 without the dough 102 becoming too firm or having too hard of a texture may be used.
- the rollers 118 and 120 and/or the cutter roller 122 can be chilled to prevent the dough 102 from sticking to the rollers 118 and 120 and/or the cutter roller 122 due to the moisture content of the dough 102 .
- the lower temperature of the rollers 118 and 120 could prevent the dough 102 from sticking to the rollers 118 and 120 and/or the cutter roller 122 due to the higher moisture content in the dough 102 from the wet dough component 106 .
- the rollers 118 and 120 and/or the cutter roller 122 can also be coated with non-stick material such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), also known as Teflon® by DuPont, to prevent the dough 102 from sticking to the rollers 118 and 120 and/or the cutter roller 122 due to the moisture content of the dough 102 .
- PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
- the dough sheet can be loosely folded and/or loosely partly laminated.
- the dough sheet of the dough 102 can be loosely folded and/or loosely partly laminated after exiting the rollers 118 and 120 .
- the dough 102 may not be completely flat but instead could be partially layered on top of each other, and/or curved.
- the dough sheet is formed into individual sheets. For example, in FIGS. 5 and 6 , the dough sheet from the dough 102 can be cut by the cutter roller 122 into the chips 128 and placed on the conveyer belt 126 .
- the dry dough material 104 such as the corn 108 , the rice 110 , and/or the potato 112 can be sufficient to glue the folds together and hold them together until and after the chips 128 have been through the furnace and/or a drying stage.
- the roller cutter 122 can form the chips 128 into any shape, such as a triangular shape, leaf shape, oval shape, and/or saddle shape.
- the chips 128 can be placed into molds (not shown), and the molds with the chips 128 can be sent to the furnace 130 .
- the chips 128 can be formed by stamping, for example by the cutter roller 122 .
- the molds can be, for example, gutter or trough shaped and can run perpendicular to the moving conveyer belt 126 .
- the molds can be coated with PTFE or Teflon® and be in various shapes, such as a triangle with a radius of 3-20 cm, a width of 3-8 cm, and a depth of 0.5-2 cm.
- rollers 118 and 120 can loosely fold and/or loosely partly laminate the dough 102
- the rollers 118 and 120 can feed the dough 102 into a transport unit such as a conveyer belt.
- the conveyer belt can move at a faster pace than the movement of the dough 102 , causing the dough to loosely fold and/or loosely partly laminate. This can be achieved, for example, when the ratio of the speed of the dough 102 leaving the rollers 118 and 120 to the speed of the transport unit is between 100:1 and 3:1, and preferably between 50:1 and 5:1.
- the chips are dried such that it contains a moisture content of 0-8%.
- the chips 128 are fed into a furnace 130 by the conveyer belt 126 .
- the furnace 130 can reduce the moisture content of the chips 128 to a moisture content of 0-8% to form the snack chips 100 . Due to the lamination and/or folding, blisters could be formed on the snack chips 100 .
- the furnace 130 can dry the chips 128 in multiple stages. For example, in a first drying stage, the furnace can have a temperature of between 80-160° C., and preferably 90-130° C. In a second drying stage, the furnace can have a temperature of between 60-100° C. and preferably 60-90° C. in order to reduce the moisture level to 0-8%.
- the drying can be accomplished using temperatures of up to 140° C., 160° C., or even 200° C. in any of the stages. In yet another embodiment, drying can be accomplished at temperatures below 100° C., such as between 60° C. to 100° C. or 75° C. to 100° C., but may result in a bleak color for the chips 128 .
- the snack chips 100 can also be flavored by seasoning 132 .
- the furnace 130 can include, for example, fire, heat lamps, ultra violet lamps, or any other type of device which can be used to reduce the moisture content of the chips 128 .
- an oven, a fryer, or any other type of heating device can be used instead of or in addition to the furnace 130 to reduce the moisture content without drastically increasing the fat content of the chips 128 .
- the fryer can be, for example, an expeller pressed oil deep-fryer.
- the chips 128 could be cured, air dried, gradually dried, and/or flash dried.
- the snack chip 100 can have different amounts of material by weight than the dough due to the dehydration of the snack chip 100 .
- the snack chip 100 can have a fat content of between 0-20% by weight, and preferably 0.1-20%, 0.1-10%, or 0.1-5% by weight.
