Checking Texture of Savoury Snacks when fat and salt are reduced

In terms of health and nutrition, one of the greatest successes for the UK and US industries over the last decade has undoubtedly been the changes to the vegetable oils which are used to fry savoury snacks, and which are an integral part of the finished product.
