Frito-Lay Product Introductions
The largest hurdle to lower calorie snacks is not taking The largest hurdle to lower calorie snacks is not taking out the fat…out the fat…
Consumer Liking
Fat reduction (g/1 oz serving)
It is sustaining the consumer liking of the product…
Increased liking
Decreased liking
Below this line, Consumer are much less likely topurchase product

Pathway to lower calorie snacks are manyPathway to lower calorie snacks are many
• Optimize frying profile and product surface characteristics to pick up less oil
• Develop non-fried snacks that are great tasting• Invent new thermal processes that can mimic heat
transfer coefficients similar to frying without oil as a medium of heat transfer .
Today we will focus on 2 products as case studies illustrating the above principles and take a look at the future

Attributes renewed from “Prontos” (late 1970’s Frito-Lay test market product):
1. Concept: better-for-you positioning with at least 25% less fat
2. Shape: Prontos die insert, later upgraded (Prontos was a product tested in late 1970’s, made with multi-grains using an extruder)
Better-for-you product design elements have proven visionary
Three of four grains in multi-grain recipe are whole grains:Whole wheatWhole milled cornWhole oat flourRice flour

Complexity: In addition to mixing, extruding, frying, and seasoning, SunChips combines two additional operations:
1. Wheat cooking: needed to soften whole wheat so it will pass through dies
2. Corn milling: to provide fresh whole-milled corn
3. Heart of process: extrusion with large distribution die Needed CFD modeling to balance flow across the width

SunChips: Process
A NEW PARADIGM IN MIXING AND COOKING WHOLE GRAINS ALL TO THE SAME DEGREE
• extruder serves two functions:• excellent distributive mixing of milled grains, cooked
wheat, and added water• metering to filter screen and die – large pressure
drop results in excess viscous energy dissipation which can overheat the dough
Balancing work input, heat/thermal input, gelatinization of starch

Fryer control
SunChips: Process
Dynamic Matrix Controller elevated frying to a whole new level
fryer utilizes multi-input, multi-output model-predictive controller, enabling “30% less fat than PC” label claim
Process Controls – key to delivering accurate quality and meeting legal claims

Effect of Work Input in MixerEffect of Work Input in Mixer
Ø Increasing work input leads to a more cohesive dough.
Ø Blisters observed to be more uniform and robust leading to a reduced breakage.

GC-MS analysis of relevant flavor compounds may provide a ‘roadmap’ of how this technology impacts the flavor reactions for development of toast note.
We can compare proposed improved designs by studying the flavor compounds produced during baking.

Background
q CT stands for Computerized Tomography, where X rays are used to create image on the detector
q X rays are absorbed differently (attenuation coefficient) by different components (density differences) in a given material
q Image generated by CT scan has bright spots (high density), gray spots (lower density) and black areas (voids/air)
q Image generated by CT scan can be separated into different density components using various imaging software's
CT Scan: Pros CT Scan: Cons
§ Non- invasive technology
§ No dyes are required
§ Entire piece can be scanned
§ Image analysis is time consuming
§ No standard methods for our products
§ Data analysis methods are complex12
