Detailed Explanation of Key Points in Jam Sweet Potato Chip Processing Technology
1. Raw material selection: Select intact, high-quality sweet potatoes free from pests and diseases, and also prepare apples and granulated sugar.
2. Washing: Wash the sweet potatoes and apples clean with water.
3. Making sweet potato paste: Put 50 kg of sweet potatoes into a steaming pot and steam them thoroughly with steam; add 38 kg of granulated sugar, and put them into a pulping machine to beat into a fine paste.
4. Making jam: Peel and core 60 kg of apples, then put them into a pulping machine to beat into a fine pulp; add 30 kg of granulated sugar, put into a pot, boil, and stir continuously until evaporated into a thick, non-flowing jam.
5. Mixed cooking: Mix the sweet potato paste and apple jam together in a heating pot, heat slowly and stir continuously, control the temperature above 104°C, and stir-fry until it forms into lumps.
6. Shaping: Spread the fruit-sweet potato mixed jam on a flat baking tray coated with lard, coat the surface with another layer of lard, then press into thin pieces about 0.4 cm thick.
7. Baking: Send the thin pieces into a dryer and dry them at 60 [degrees], then turn them over to dry the bottom after the surface is dry. The moisture content after drying should not exceed 12%.
8. Finished product packaging: Cut the finished product into square pieces, stack them neatly, wrap them tightly with cellophane, then seal them with a packaging bag or packaging box, and they are ready for market.
