  • Texture Comparison in Chips in Various Environments Through Mechanical Property Estimation
    Texture comparison in chips in various environments through mechanical property estimation An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by: _______________ _______________ _______________ Robert Allen Dylan Billings Keegan Leitz ___________________ Satya Shivkumar Advisor 12 March 2012 Abstract Crispiness is an important factor when gauging the quality and freshness of a potato chip. In this study, the effects of pH and moisture content on the compressive and flexural properties of different types of chips were studied. In general, chips with surface ridges were found to have a lower compressive strength than the plain chips. It was determined that the breaking pattern of the chips during compression and flexural testing can be correlated with chip crispiness. 1 Contents 1 Abstract 2 Contents 3 Introduction 4 Background 10 Objectives 11 Methodology 12 Mechanical testing 16 Conductivity testing 18 pH testing 20 Water content 21 Results and Discussion 21 General chip observations 23 Three point testing 27 Compressive testing 32 Conductivity testing 32 pH testing 35 Water content 38 Conclusion 39 Acknowledgements 40 References 41 Appendices 41 A - Three point data 43 B - Three point videos 45 C - Pringles compressive data 49 D - Pringles compressive test videos 53 E - Lays Stax compressive data 56 F - Lays Stax compressive test videos 58 G - Three point test graphs 67 H - Three point test data tables 70 I - Average Pringles compressive test 73 J - Average Lays Stax compressive test 76 K - Ingredients of chips used 77 L - Pringles compressive test data tables 82 M - Lays Stax compressive test data tables 2 Introduction With potato chips earning $7.1764 Billion of revenue and tortilla chips generating an additional $5.5798 Billion in 2009 (1), Potato chips represent an enormous portion of the snack foods consumed in the United States and other western countries.
