Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A low fat potato chip having a fat content of less than about twenty-five weight percent, based on the total weight of the potato chip made from potato slices, a web thickness of about 2 mm, and having a corrugated cross-sectional configuration wherein the value of amplitude/period ranges from about 0.35 to about 0.45 and wherein ridges on one face of the corrugated chip are in-phase with grooves on the opposing face of the corrugated chip.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A low fat potato chip having a fat content of less than about twenty-five weight percent, based on the total weight of the potato chip made from potato slices, a web thickness of about 2 mm, and having a corrugated cross-sectional configuration wherein the value of amplitude/period ranges from about 0.35 to about 0.45 and wherein ridges on one face of the corrugated chip are in-phase with grooves on the opposing face of the corrugated chip.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
