WAFERS- (Chicken/Fish/Prawn/Pork/Egg/Meat)

Wafers from chicken, fish, prawn, pork, egg, or meat are innovative value added snack products developed by combining minced animal protein with starch, spices, and seasonings. The mixture is processed into thin sheets and dried to produce crisp wafers after frying or roasting. This technology enhances the utilization of animal protein resources, provides nutritious snack options, and creates new market opportunities in the RTE and convenience food sectors.

Animal based wafers are used as protein rich snack foods and are popular in households, restaurants, and packaged snack industries. After frying or roasting, the wafers become crispy and are consumed as RTE snacks or side dishes with meals.

It provides several advantages including value addition to animal based raw materials and longer shelf life due to drying. They are lightweight, easy to store, and convenient to transport. The product offers a unique taste and crispy texture while supplying essential proteins. Additionally, the technology helps utilize surplus or low value meat and seafood, reducing wastage and improving profitability.
