company news about What are the advantages of puffing process compared with frying process?

Traditional puffed snacks often rely on deep-frying, which, while crispy, is high in fat, making them a turn-off for many consumers. Non-frying puffing technology, on the other hand, uses the physical effects of high temperature and high pressure to instantly vaporize the moisture in the corn, creating a porous structure that retains the crispiness while significantly reducing the fat content. The core of this process lies in "puffing" rather than "frying."

A complete non-fried corn cheese ball production line usually includes the following core parts:

(1) Raw material pretreatment system
Corn kernels need to be cleaned, screened, and cleaned to ensure they are free of mold or impurities. Some production lines also adjust the moisture content of the corn to make it more suitable for puffing.
(2) Puffing machine
This is the "heart" of the production line. The corn kernels enter the puffing chamber through the feeder and are instantly puffed under high temperature and high pressure.
(3) Shaping and cooling
The shape of the puffed corn balls may be irregular and needs to be adjusted to a standard round shape through a shaping roller or mold.
(4) Seasoning system
Cheese powder or other seasonings are applied to the surface of the popcorn through spraying or rollers.
(5) Packaging process
The finished product goes through processes such as automatic weighing and nitrogen filling packaging to ensure sealing and shelf life.

Advantages of non-frying technology:
-Healthiness: The fat content is significantly reduced, meeting modern consumers' demand for low-fat snacks.
-High efficiency: The continuous production design can achieve output of hundreds of kilograms per hour, suitable for large-scale operations.
-Flavor control: The seasoning process allows for flexible adjustment of the recipe to develop different flavors, such as sweet and spicy, or sea salt.
