Traditionally potato chips are stored after drying. Justify the reason behind removal of moisture during its preparation. 

Answer»

Reason behind removal of moisture from potato chips 

(a) Microorganisms require free water for their growth and multiplication. If free water is removed from potato chips, it will not be available to microorganism and thus growth and multiplication of microorganism will stop. 

(b) Water becomes unavailable for chemical/biochemical reaction and thus storage life of potato chips increases.
