The implemented CVS allows determining the color of potato slices from RGB images into L*a*b* units in an easy, precise, representative, objective and inexpensive way. This was achieved by integrating previously developed routines for image pre-processing, segmentation and color conversion into one computational program to make easier and faster the color measuring of potato chips in L*a*b* units. The CVS allows easy measurements of the color over the entire surface of a potato chip or over a small specific surface region of interest. DE decreased drastically as the frying temperature decreased from 180 to 120 C. Lower frying temperatures generate less non-enzymatic browning in potato resulting in the production of paler chips.
