The sensory scores of the dried ribbon snacks (for
different times from 0 to 90 min) that were fried
at 1751C for 45 s are shown in Fig. 11. All the attributes
namely appearance, colour, crispness, taste andoveral l
acceptability were comparedwith those of control
sample using t-test for comparison of two means at
Po0.05. The control sample was the friedsnack
prepared without pre-fry drying. The results indicated
that up to 60 min of pre-fry drying of extruded ribbons,
all the attributes except appearance of the friedprod uct
were not different (Po0.05) from the control sample.
The optimum conditions were derived taking into
account the sensory data.
