Abstract
Improved fried food potato-based products are formulated by the addition of certain water absorbent cellulosic fibers (hereinafter 'fibrous cellulosic material'), preferably those high in pectin (hereinafter 'cellulosic absorbent material'), most preferably Modified Citrus Absorbent Material (hereinafter 'MCAM') or sugar beet pulp absorbent material (hereinafter 'SAM') to the dough thereof to achieve increased workability of said dough after mixing and storage, and enhanced texture and flavor of said fried foods after frying. In addition, increased retention of crispness after the microwave reheating thereof in a fry-freeze-microwave cycle is accomplished. Most preferred fiber source is the highly pectinated cellulosic fiber MCAM, derived from citrus albedo, and is added to the potato-based dough in an amount approximately equal to 6% by weight.
