Seasoning Application The salt and seasonings are applied immediately after frying while the chips are still hot. The hot chips are conveyed into an inclined rotating cylinder, where a liquid seasoning mix is sprayed on them. Generally, the liquid mix consists of hot oil, salt, seasonings and flavoring to develop correct flavor profile. Cooling and packaging The tortilla chips are then cooled to ambient temperature and immediately packaged in moisture proof bags. Because fried products are very hygroscopic (they readily absorb and retain moisture), delayed packaging can cause a loss of crispness. The cooled tortilla chips, with about 1.5 percent moisture, are conveyed into a bagging machine. This machine automatically weighs and deposits them in a bag, which is then sealed. Details of packing spec is in exhibit 13.
In chapter five of ¡Que Vivan Los Tamales!, the author Jeffrey M. Pilcher discusses how women wanted a mechanical mill for making and producing tortillas that were not so difficult to operate. In this chapter, there was a man named Luis de la Rosa who broke down how hard it was to operate tortilla machines. Many Mexican engineers began inventing corn mills and tortilla machines. Julian Gonzalez designed the first mechanical tortilla maker. Don Luis Romero Soto designed an improved model in 1899 and he created the first tortilla factory. This reminds me of my local tortilla shop in Baldwin Park named Ramirez Meat Market. I always see several women operating the machine and rolling the tortilla off the conveyor belt really fast. I also wondered

The company is driven by a strong set of values, even if some of those decisions increase its costs internally. This is especially the case with the sourcing of its ingredients and meats. In fact, the high-quality ingredients and advanced cooking methods used by Chipotle are second to no other fast-food chain. Among recent developments, the leader in fast-casual dining concepts plans to become absolutely GMO-free by the end of 2014. Although the aim is not new, it shows Chipotle’s commitment to bring fresh ingredients to the table. Besides offering high-quality meals to its customers, the portions are generously sized and the value is unmatched. There are very few places that can fill you up for less that $10 with quality food, and not junk. The triad of fresh, pure ingredients, cutting-edge cooking methods, and tremendous portions gives Chipotle a mouthwatering appeal.

Selling corn in massive quantity can lead to a greater profit. An ear of corn may averages about eight-hundred kernels in sixteen rows and a pound of corn consists of approximately 1,300 kernels. One-hundred bushels of corn makes approximately 7,280,000 kernels. Every year, a single U.S. Farmer may provides food and fiber for 129 people in the U.S. and 32 overseas. In the U.S., corn production is 2 times that of any other crop. Over 55% of Iowa’s corn goes to foreign markets and the rest is used in other parts of the United States of America.

Food is an important factor in the everyday human life. Humans need food to be able to live. But how did the food people eat today come about, no one really knows the in depth explanation. What about more common foods that are a part of everyone’s everyday lives, like potato chips. They are a simple, easy snack food that is commonly in every American household. But does anyone know how they came about, who invented them. Well, let me explain a little about who that person was.
In conclusion, corn has come a long way since its first domestication. It began as a prized possession to the Natives as they worshipped corn goddesses and had steady rituals allowing them to receive the corn and give thanks for the corn. The views for the United States seem to be produce as much as possible – and profit from it. China and Hungary aim to produce corn as well but limit themselves to unmodified corn. Although all the groups previously mentioned have/had their own way of viewing corn, one thing is for certain: corn is a popular plant and is presently essential to our lives.
Coolcargo and Frito-Lay implemented technical solutions for agricultural-products transportation following customers’ requirements. Coolcargo developed a transport-system for maintain fresh asparagus at controlled temperature from production site in Thailand to final destination in UK (UOL, 2013). Frito-Lay developed a global agile supply-chain for manufacturing and distributing salty-snacks to end-customers that allows processing agricultural-products in less than 24 hours for flavor guarantee (PepsiCo, 2013).
To understand the issues surrounding the manufacture and processing of potato chips, one must first have a basic understand of how they are made. Potato chips start out as most people would imagine, as potatoes. The raw potatoes are grown on farms, and shipped by truck or by rail to the processing facility. Once they arrive at the facility, the potatoes are sent to the peeler—“a long cylinder with rollers that revolve around and around stripping the potato of its skin” (How Potato Chips Are Made). The potatoes then exit the peeler where they are run past human inspectors that will look for bad potatoes and remove them. The potatoes then continue into a slicer where they pass one by one through the machine being sliced into wafers 1/20th of an inch thick (How Potato Chips Are Made). The thin slices then continue along to the fryer. The fryer is a shallow trough filled with oil flowing from one side to the other; it is the current that pushes the frying slices to the other side. As the chips exit the fryer they are salted and inspected again. The chips are then poured into bags, sealed, and shipped to consumers across the country (How Potato Chips Are Made).
This means that crops can be genetically engineered to produce higher yields in the same amount of land than conventionally grown crops. Data from the United States Department of Agriculture shows that an additional 16 million tons of corn and soybeans were produced due to biotechnology. It is estimated that a surplus of 16 million tons of corn can feed up to 48 million people (Corum 62). The numbers prove that biotech crops are generating higher yields allowing for more people to eat without additional
I am going to start with the capacity of the machine and the capacity of the rest of the factory. As we know, if we order the machine now (which is the end of August) it will take approximately two weeks to be delivered and start working (without taking into consideration any possible delays). That means that we will have approximately two weeks time to produce the first delivery. That delivery (at the end of September) consists of the 30% of the total amount and if we choose to produce both the small and the large bands it will take us about 18 working days to produce it (if we assume that each day has 8 working hours).
