Potato snack factories face several critical challenges that impact their efficiency, profitability, and environmental sustainability. These challenges include:
A significant amount of purchased potatoes cannot be used for snack production due to low quality. These potatoes, along with peels and debris, are often discarded or sold at low prices, leading to financial losses and increased waste.
During peeling, slicing, and washing processes, a considerable amount of starch is released from potato cells into the water. This starchy water is often sent to wastewater treatment plants, resulting in lost resources and increased treatment costs.
Blanching water, which is used to pre-cook potato slices, has high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). This makes it difficult to reuse and increases water consumption, as fresh water is required for each batch.
These challenges not only lead to increased operational costs but also contribute to environmental pollution and resource wastage. Addressing these issues is crucial for the sustainability and profitability of potato snack production.
