While frying, the sugar present in potatoes combine with amino acids and turns brown, which results in the yellowish-brown colour of potato chips. Additionally, potato chips are processed and stored in such a way that they are inert toward any microbiological spoilage, chemical, and enzymatic activities as well as moisture.
The taste, texture, and colour of the chips remain unchanged for a long period of time. Potato chips are packed in air-tight plastic bags, which significantly improves the shelf life.
