Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for removing acrylamide and/or melanoidin forming cellular ingredients from starchy plant material without enabling to remove a considerable amount of starch from the cells by washing, comprising the process steps of: providing the biological material, irreversible electroporation of the biological material, and obtaining plant material having a reduced amount of acrylamide and/or melanoidin forming cellular ingredients, the starch content of which is not enabled to be considerably reduced by washing as compared to the starting material. Furthermore, the present invention relates to plant material having a reduced of amount of acrylamide and/or melanoidin forming cellular ingredients producible by said process, to a nibble product, respectively a snack having a reduced content of acrylamide and/or melanoidins producible from said plant material, and to a device for producing the nibble product, respectively the snack comprising an electroporation reactor, a cutting equipment, optionally at least one dipping bath and a fryer or a drying device.
