ABSTRACT:
A shelf-stable, crispy snack is produced from a fruit or vegetable juice or juice concentrate. The juice or juice concentrate is admixed with ingredients comprising a starch hydrolysis product and a pregelatinized starch to form a dough or dough-like mixture, which forms a cellular or crumb-like structure upon vacuum drying to a shelf stable moisture content. The glass transition temperature of the snack food product is at least about 30.degree. C. The dough-like mixture may be formed into pieces before, during, or after expansion to obtain products having a cracker-like or cookie-like texture and appearance. The dough-like mixture is heated to temperatures above its glass transition temperature to expand it by evaporation of water. However, the dough temperature is kept below temperatures which would result in substantial decomposition or loss of nutritive, color, or flavoring components of the juice or juice concentrate.
