The problem of fried potato chips is also reflected in the production process, and used to flavor the added ingredients such as fresh substances, sweeteners and coloring.

Trans fatty acids:

Crispy foods such as potato chips are processed with hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated shortening, known as trans fatty acids. It is difficult for the human body to digest and absorb trans fatty acids, which can raise triglycerides and bad cholesterol in the blood and lower good cholesterol, thus increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, businessmen favor hydrogenated oil because it can extend the shelf life of the product and make the food more crispy and delicious. Hydrogenated oils containing TFA are inexpensive. Trans fatty acids also affect the absorption of essential fatty acids by adolescents during their growth and development period, and have an adverse effect on the growth and development of the central nervous system of adolescents.
