Ready-to-eat potato-soy snacks were developed with high temperature short time air puffing process followed by oven toasting for
increasing crispness. Oven toasting experiments were conducted with varying temperature (85.86–114.14 C) and time (12.69–
35.31 min) based on central composite rotatable design. The final product was evaluated in terms of quality attributes such as crispness,
moisture content, ascorbic acid loss, colour (L and DE) values and overall acceptability. The optimum product qualities in terms of crispness
(38.7), moisture content (3.35%, db), ascorbic acid loss (20.87%, db), L value (52.03), DE (8.60) and overall acceptability (7.8) were
obtained at temperature of 104.4 C and time of 27.9 min.
