METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING LIGHTWEIGHT SNACKS WITH A CRUNCHY TEXTURE, DEHYDRATED PORTIONS FOR OBTAINING SAID LIGHTWEIGHT SNACK AND THE LIGHTWEIGHT SNACK OBTAINED

摘要

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing lightweight snacks with a crunchy texture, dehydrated portions for obtaining said lightweight snack and the lightweight snack obtained. Said invention proposes mixing a starch-free gelatinous coagulating product with thermoreversible coagulation properties that can melt at a threshold temperature with at least one flavoring product, inducing coagulation of the gelatinous coagulating product and shaping portions of said coagulated product that is less than 4 mm thick, drying said portions by means of treated air at a temperature lower than the threshold temperature, provided by a treatment unit for treating by means of treated air, obtaining dehydrated portions and frying the dehydrated portions, obtaining a lightweight snack with a crunchy texture.
