INGREDIENTS USED AND THEIR ROLE
Flour/Maida:
It is the primary raw material. Most biscuits are prepared from flour which has low quantity of protein and superior spread ability/extensible gluten. Soft and medium hard flour (protein content 8-11%) are used which are important for gluten development that is responsible for:
• Less resistant to deformation
• More extensible
• Dough is less rubbery
Flour used in biscuit making should be free flowing, dry to touch, free from bran particles, creamy in color, free from musty flavor, rancid taste, fungal infection and other contaminants.
Sugar:
It plays very important role during manufacturing of biscuits. When creamed with plastic fats, it helps in corporation of minute cells in the mixture. Sugar …show more content…

Almost all the water added to biscuits dough is subsequently removed in oven but the quantity of water used may have an effect on the dough consistency that’s why tap water used is treated properly prior to use in dough making. In Parle biscuit, plant water is treated properly by soda lime process. In the method calculated quantities of lime and soda are mixed at room temperature.
• Water helps in homogenous mixing.
• It helps in gluten formation.
• It maintains texture of biscuits (hardness and softness).
• It affects the stack height of biscuits.
Mono acid calcium phosphate:
MACP is an acidic substance, which provides acidity to a certain extent i.e. it maintains acidity up to 4-4.5 pH for the proper growth of yeast.
• It is mainly used in cracker varieties.
• It is used to maintain acidity and pH of slurry.
Papain Powder:
It is a photolytic enzyme, which breaks the disulphide bonds of the gluten leading to comparatively softer and extensible dough.
Starzyme:
It is an amylolytic enzyme, which breaks down carbohydrates and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide as well as simple sugars like glucose and fructose and make the dough …show more content…

TAPPING MACHINE
Six such poly bags are placed in one such corrugated box and the box is passed through the tapping machine where they are tapped and then sent through a long diversion conveyer belt. This belt helps to transfer the box to the dispatch section directly. 90 boxes are arranged on pallet in the dispatch section, from where they are transferred to the various dealers all over the India and worldwide.

PARLE WAFERS & FULLTOSS
Potatoes used for making chips are stored in separate room (temperature less than the room temperature). In that room, unwashed and unpeeled potatoes are manually put in the machine, from where they move to De-stoner unit.
PROCESS LAYOUT:
De-stoner unit- wash potatoes in water.

Peeler unit- potatoes are peeled in this unit. It consists of 2 parts: Peeler and Screw. Trimming table- on this table, thick potatoes are manually cut into 2 using a knife.

Singulator- sends single potatoes (one by one) into machine. Two slices are attached to the singulator which cut potatoes into chips.

Slice washer shaker- chips are washed in fresh water.
