Performance of Regular and Modified Canola and Soybean Oils in Rotational Frying

Canola and soybean oils both regular and with modified fatty acid compositions by genetic modifications and hydrogenation were compared for frying performance. The frying was conducted at 185 ± 5 °C for up to 12 days where French fries, battered chicken and fish sticks were fried in succession. Modified canola oils, with reduced levels of linolenic acid, accumulated significantly lower amounts of polar components compared to the other tested oils. Canola oils generally displayed lower amounts of oligomers in their polar fraction. Higher rates of free fatty acids formation were observed for the hydrogenated oils compared to the other oils, with canola frying shortening showing the highest amount at the end of the frying period. The half-life of tocopherols for both regular and modified soybean oils was 1–2 days compared to 6 days observed for high-oleic low-linolenic canola oil. The highest anisidine values were observed for soybean oil with the maximum reached on the 10th day of frying. Canola and soybean frying shortenings exhibited a faster rate of color formation at any of the frying times. The high-oleic low-linolenic canola oil exhibited the greatest frying stability as assessed by polar components, oligomers and non-volatile carbonyl components formation. Moreover, food fried in the high-oleic low-linolenic canola oil obtained the best scores in the sensory acceptance assessment.     

Effectiveness of modified zeolites as adsorbent materials for frying oils

Natural zeolite was modified by four different techniques namely using Tween80, β‐cyclodextrine and olive mill waste water at RT and hydrochloric acid at 110°C, and then modified zeolites were used as adsorbent materials in six consecutive days dough frying with refined hazelnut oil. Some parameters in the oil samples of control and experimental groups were measured and the ranges were determined as following; total polar materials (TPM)‐chromatography (4.09–70.22%), free acidity (0.16–1.19%), smoke point (221.50–184.00°C), conjugated dienoic acids (0.36–2.19%), L value (35.65–52.15), a* value (?0.18–5.98), b* value (?3.73–10.40), turbidity (0.70–10.40 NTU), viscosity (67.67–825.50 cP), and oil absorbed by the dough (5.10–8.85%). The results of this study have shown that both natural zeolite and modified zeolites have different level of activities as frying oil adsorbent materials. The best results were achieved with Tween80 modified zeolite for the TPMs, free acidity, instrumental color values, smoke point, and conjugated dienoic acid measurements. Similarly better result for turbidity was with olive mill waste water modified zeolite and for viscosity was with hydrochloric acid modified zeolite. It was determined that adsorbent treatment did not affect fat absorption level of fried dough. Practical applications : The results of this study have shown that natural zeolite modification with different techniques can improve its adsorption capacity significantly. In this respect, utilization of modified zeolite for frying oil recovery applications can be an industrially sound practice since natural zeolite is a very cheap and easily found material.     

Accumulation of 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural in Oil During Frying of Model Dough

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), a thermal process contaminant, forms in food during frying as a result of the Maillard reaction and caramelization. Owing to its chemical properties, HMF formed in foods during frying partially transfers into frying oil. This study aimed to investigate the accumulation of HMF in oil during repetitive frying operations. A model dough composed of 25 % of glucose was fried at 160, 170, 180 °C for 50 frying cycles. Apart from total polar compounds (TPC), accumulation of HMF was determined in oils during repetitive frying operations. Increasing frying temperature also increased the amount of HMF formed in dough, and those transferred to oil. Prolonging frying cycles to 150, increasing amount of dough being fried to 100 g and frying time to 10 min caused the TPC content to reach 25 % at the 130th frying cycle at 180 °C. Under the same frying conditions, the concentration of HMF showed a rapid increase at the first 10th frying cycle. Its increase was at a slower rate until the 50th frying cycle reaching a plateau level exceeding 5.0 mg/L. The results revealed that HMF transferred and accumulated in the frying oil during repetitive frying. The HMF concentration exceeding 5.0 mg/L in oil may be considered as an indicator for heavily used frying oil. Correlation between TPC and HMF contents of frying oil showed no linear correlation.     

Enrichment of frying oils with plant phenolic extracts to extend the usage life

The aim of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of extracts prepared from olive leaf (OLVL), hazelnut leaf (HAZL), and hazelnut green leafy cover (HGLC) in frying conditions. The extracts were added into canola oil at 200 ppm phenolic equivalence level and fried for seven consecutive days and analyzed. Generally, the lowest phenolic content and antioxidant capacity value were measured in HGLC extract, although, the best performance during frying was with HGLC extract. There were significant differences among the free acidity, conjugated dienoic acids, and total polar materials (TPM). The oil enriched with HGLC extract did not exceed the limit TPM value at the end of seventh day. Also the remaining antioxidant capacities in the frying oil samples were highest in HGLC enriched samples. The viscosity and turbidity values of the oils enriched with OLVL and HAZL extract were a little higher than a control sample. Generally trans‐fatty acid formation was lower in the enriched oil samples. Also significant decreases in the level of unsaturated fatty acids during frying period were observed. This study shows that enriching oils with easily found and cheap natural plant extracts can extend their usage life. Practical applications: The results of this study have shown that liquid frying oils can successfully be enriched with plant phenolic extract to enhance thermo‐oxidative stability. Addition of phenolic extract up to 200 ppm level have not created any problem in sensory quality of either the oil or fried dough. The HGLC and OLVL extract were found very suitable for this purpose. These materials are common agro‐food by‐products and can be produced very easily with low cost. Also, this type of enrichment may aid consumers to get some beneficial phenolic compounds through fried food consumption. In addition, these types of applications may open another area for marketing the named plant extracts.     

Frying stability of soybean and canola oils with modified fatty acid compositions

Pilot plant-processed samples of soybean and canola (lowerucic acid rapeseed) oil with fatty acid compositions modified by mutation breeding and/or hydrogenation were evaluated for frying stability. Linolenic acid contents were 6.2% for standard soybean oil, 3.7% for low-linolenic soybean oil and 0.4% for the hydrogenated low-linolenic soybean oil. The linolenic acid contents were 10.1% for standard canola oil, 1.7% for canola modified by breeding and 0.8% and 0.6% for oils modified by breeding and hydrogenation. All modified oils had significantly (P<0.05) less room odor intensity after initial heating tests at 190°C than the standard oils, as judged by a sensory panel. Panelists also judged standard oils to have significantly higher intensities for fishy, burnt, rubbery, smoky and acrid odors than the modified oils. Free fatty acids, polar compounds and foam heights during frying were significantly (P<0.05) less in the low-linolenic soy and canola oils than the corresponding unmodified oils after 5 h of frying. The flavor quality of french-fried potatoes was significantly (P<0.05) better for potatoes fried in modified oils than those fried in standard oils. The potatoes fried in standard canola oil were described by the sensory panel as fishy.     

Using SPME-GC/MS to Evaluate Acrolein Production in Cassava and Pork Sausage Fried in Different Vegetable Oils

This work presents the quantification of acrolein in cassava and pork sausage fried (temperature of 170 °C) in five different vegetables oils: canola, palm, sunflower, soybean and corn using a method of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The results showed that the highest concentration of acrolein was found in samples fried in sunflower oil and canola oil. The concentration of acrolein in pork sausage (3.7 and 2.0 ng/g/g) was lower than in cassava (10.2 and 3.8 ng) when fried in sunflower and soybean oils, respectively. In contrast, when the denser oils (canola and palm) were used for frying, the concentration of acrolein in pork sausage (6.3 and 3.8 ng/g) was higher than in cassava (3.7 and 2.8 ng/g). Using corn oil, the concentrations of acrolein in both cassava and sausage were similar (approximately 5 ng/g). The viscosity of the oil, the fatty acid composition, especially the level of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from the food, and oil uptake are factors that influence the acrolein concentration found in fried food.     

Antioxidative properties of phenolic acids and interaction with endogenous minor components during frying

The ability of selected phenolic acids to improve the frying performance of canola oil was evaluated in a frying test. The frying performance of the oil was assessed by analysis of total polar components (TPC), level of 4‐hydroxynonenal (HNE), and the rate of formation of volatile carbonyl compounds (VCC). All the tested phenolic acids; ferulic acid (FA), caffeic acid (CA), dihydrocaffeic acid (HCA), gallic acid (GA), and vanillic acid (VA) significantly increased the frying performance of canola oil triacylglycerols (CTG). At the end of the frying test, the amount of TPC in CTG was 22.9 ± 1.0% compared to a maximum of 18.8 ± 0.8% in CTG fortified with the phenolic acids. Similarly, the level of HNE was reduced by up to 45% when it was supplemented with phenolic acids. The results showed that ethyl ferulate (EF) was a better antioxidant than FA under frying conditions; HCA offered a slightly better protection than CA; and the cinnamic acid derivative, FA was better than VA, its benzoic acid analogue. A significant synergy was observed between phenolic acids and the sterol fraction isolated from canola oil. The observed synergy was attributed to the possible formation of steryl phenolates during the frying test. Practical applications: The poor thermal stability of polyunsaturated oils limits their application for prolonged frying. PUFA offer important health benefits and can improve nutritional value of fried foods. Contrary to the commonly applied synthetic antioxidants, the phenolic acids tested in this study often are part of endogenous oil components present in oilseeds and also in some oils, and are known for their positive health benefits. Thus, the simple phenolic acids, especially the cinnamic acid derivatives may be applied as potent antioxidants to protect oils during thermal processes used for food production.     

Storage stability of potato chips fried in genetically modified canola oils

The storage stability of potato chips fried in regular (RCO), hydrogenated (HYCO), low-linolenic (LLCO), and high-oleic (HOCO) canola oils was compared. Potato chips were fried in each oil over a 5-d period for a total of 40 h of frying. Chips from frying day 1 and 5 were packaged and stored at 60°C for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 d. Lipids were extracted from the stored chips and analyzed for peroxide values, free fatty acids (FFA), conjugated dienoic acids (CDA), and polar components. A trained sensory panel evaluated the stored chips for odors characteristic of oxidation. Chips were also analyzed for volatile components. Potato chips fried in RCO, LLCO and HOCO developed an intense painty odor, whereas chips fried in HYCO developed an intense stale/musty odor by the end of the 16 d of storage. Chips fried in RCO had greater rates of accumulation of peroxides, FFA, CDA, and polar components and developed higher levels of total volatiles over the 16 d of storage than chips fried in the other three oils. Chips fried in HYCO had lower rates of accumulation of peroxides and CDA than chips fried in LLCO and HOCO, and lower rates of FFA accumulation than chips fried in LLCO. Chips fried in HYCO and HOCO had the lowest amounts of total volatiles during storage. The effect of oil degradation products on potato chip storage stability was not shown in this study since only the chips fried in HYCO from frying day 5 exhibited a significantly greater rate of off-odor development than chips from frying day 1, and only the chips fried in LLCO from frying day 5 had a greater rate of accumulation of volatiles than chips from frying day 1.     

High-temperature stability of soybean oils with altered fatty acid compositions

One canola oil and six soybean oils with different fatty acid compositions were heated intermittently, and bread cubes were fried in them to determine the stability of the oils. Two of the soybean oils were commercial varieties Hardin and BSR 101. The other soybean oils were from experimental lines developed at Iowa State University, and included A17 with 1.5% linolenate (18:3) and 15.1% palmitate (16:0), A16 with 1.9% 18:3 and 10.6% 16:0, A87-191039 with 1.8% 18:3 and 29.1% oleate (18:1) and A6 with 27.7% stearate (18:0). The soybean seeds were cold-pressed and crude canola oil was obtained without additives. Oils were refined, bleached and deodorized under laboratory conditions with additions. Each oil (300 mL) was heated to 180 ± 5°C in a minifryer. Bread cubes were fried at the beginning of heating, and half of the cubes were used for analyses. The second half was analyzed after storage at 60°C for seven days. Heating of the oils was continued for 20 h, cooled for 10 h, and then reheated for another 20 h, after which additional bread cubes were fried and analyzed. Results of sensory evaluation of the fried cubes, the peroxide values (PV) of oils extracted from the cubes and the conjugated dienoic acid values of the oils showed that the A17, A16, A87-191039 and A6 oils had better stabilities than did Hardin, BSR 101 and canola oils. The initial 18:3 contents of oils predicted their oxidative and flavor stabilities under heating and frying conditions (for PVvs. 18:3, r=0.89,P=0.008; for flavor qualityvs. 18:3, r=−0.93,P=0.002; for flavor intensityvs. 18:3, r=−0.91,P=0.004).     

Comparison of the Frying Stability of Sunflower and Refined Olive Pomace Oils With/Without Adsorbent Treatment

The aim of this study was to compare the frying behaviors of refined olive pomace (ROP) oil to sunflower oil in a 5-day trial, and to evaluate the refresh capacity of a new adsorbent mixture composed of diatomaceous earth, zeolite and lime. Frying trials were performed as control and adsorbent-treated groups. Oil samples collected after each day of frying were analyzed for physical characteristics (viscosity, turbidity, refractive index, smoke point), color values (L, a* and b*), and chemical properties (free acidity, peroxide value, conjugated dienoic acids, total polar materials). The amount of oil absorbed by the fried dough was measured. In general, results indicated that ROP oil had higher thermal stability. There were no significant differences between the quality parameters of control and adsorbent treated samples for either oil sample. Effectiveness of the new adsorbent mixture on frying oil refreshing was limited only to free acidity, viscosity, and color. Total polar materials measured with probe sensor were determined to be as accurate as the official technique, and can be recommended for quick, easy and cheap analysis. Also, there were some significant correlations between the measured oil quality parameters.     

Pan-frying stability of NuSun oil,a mid-oleic sunflower oil

Pan-frying is a popular frying method at home and in many restaurants. Pan-frying stabilities of two frying oils with similar iodine values (IV)—mid-oleic sunflower oil (NuSun oil; IV=103.9) and a commercial canola oil (IV=103.4)—were compared. Each oil sample was heated as a thin film on a Teflon-coated frying pan at ∼180°C to a target end point of ≥20% polymer. High-performance size-exclusion chromatography analysis of the mid-oleic sunflower and canola oil samples indicated that the heated samples contained 20% polymer after approximately 18 and 22 min of heating, respectively. The food oil sensor values increased from zero to 19.9 for the canola sample and from zero to 19.8 for the mid-oleic sunflower sample after 24 min of heating. The apparent first-order degradation rate for the mid-oleic sunflower sample was 0.102±0.008 min⁻¹, whereas the rate for the canola sample was 0.092±0.010 min⁻¹. The acid value increased from approximately zero prior to heating to 1.3 for the canola sample and from zero to 1.0 for the mid-oleic sunflower sample after 24 min of heating. In addition, sensory and volatile analyses of the fried hash browns obtained from both oils indicated there were no significant differences between the two fried potato samples.     

Frying performance of genetically modified canola oils

The frying performance of low linolenic and high oleic canola oils was compared to regular and hydrogenated canola oils. The antifoaming agent dimethylpolysiloxane (2 ppm) was added to all frying oils. Potato chips were fried in the four oils over a 5-d period for a total of 40 h of frying. Oil samples were collected each day and analyzed for conjugated dienoic acids, free fatty acids, polymers, oxidation products, and polar components. Polar components were determined by the gravimetric method and by thin-layer chromatography with flame-ionization detection. The initial quality of the four oils was similar except in the amount of tocopherols present. All oils deteriorated after 5 d of frying but differences were not as anticipated, possibly as a result of observed differences in tocopherol levels.     

Sunflower Oil–Beeswax Oleogels Are Promising Frying Medium for Potato Strips

Sunflower oil–beeswax oleogels at 3% (BWO-3) and 8% (BWO-8) organogelator concentration are prepared to evaluate oleogels as frying medium for potato strip frying against commercial sunflower oil (SO). Rheological and thermal analyses of oleogels prove that the samples are fully solid (20±3 °C) and totally liquid (180 °C), and thermoreversible. Fresh and used (after frying) fat analyses show that free fatty acidity (FFA), peroxide value (PV) and total polar materials (TPM) are enhanced in all samples at the 7th h, but the relative enhancement levels are lower in oleogel samples. Potato strips fried in oleogels absorb significantly less oil (11.97% and 12.07%) than the control sample (15.20%). Potatoes fried in oleogels are also more bright and yellower than the control sample. Textural profile of the fried potatoes indicates that the samples fried in oleogels are harder, springier, and gummier than that of the control sample. Sensory analysis shows that oleogel fried potatoes get higher sensory scores. Also, overall acceptability of potatoes fried in BWO-8 sample is the highest (8.50) among all. The prepared oleogels are found quite promising frying medium in this study. Further studies with other types of oleogels in extended period frying of various foods are suggested. Practical applications: The development of innovative frying techniques to produce healthier products with lower fat and calorie values are still a remarkable research area. Oleogelation is an emerging strategy used for solid-like oil designing and based on the formation of 3D networks by the addition of organogelators. Oleogelation is accepted as a healthy strategy to structure liquid oils into solid consistency, and oleogels have great edible applications in processed foods, and can be used as a frying medium. This work can guide the use of sunflower oil–beeswax oleogels as a frying medium and allow the development of more healthy fried snacks.     

Sensory stability of canola oil: Present status of shelf life studies

Sensory studies on autoxidation of canola oil, stored under several variations of Schaal Oven test conditions, suggest an induction period of 2–4 d at 60–65°C. Similar induction periods have been observed between canola and sunflower oils, whereas a longer induction period has been found for soybean oil. Canola oil seems to be more stable to storage in light than cottonseed and soybean oils but is less stable than sunflower oil. Storage stability of products fried in canola oil is similar to products fried in soybean oil. Storage stability of canola and cottonseed oils that had been used in the frying of potato chips showed that canola oil was more prone to autoxidation during storage at 40°C. The presence of light aggravated the oxidative effects and was similar for both oils. Advances in our knowledge about the shelf life of canola oil would be strengthened by standardization of Schaal Oven testing conditions and by specifying the testing protocol for photooxidation studies. Methods for training of panelists and for handling and evaluating oils and fried foods require definition. Rating scales used in the evaluation of oils need to be evaluated to ensure that reliable and valid measurements are achieved. Further progress is needed in the identification of chemical indicators that can be used to predict sensory quality of oils. Presented in part at AOCS Annual Meeting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 1992.     

Performance evaluation of hexane-extracted oils from genetically modified soybeans

Soybeans produced by induced mutation breeding and hybridization were cracked, flaked and hexane-extracted, and the recovered crude oils were processed to finished edible oils by laboratory simulations of commercial oil-processing procedures. Three lines yielded oils containing 1.7, 1.9 and 2.5% linolenic acid. These low-linolenic acid oils were evaluated along with oil extracted from the cultivar Hardin, grown at the same time and location, and they were processed at the same time. The oil from Hardin contained 6.5% linolenic acid. Low-linolenic acid oils showed improved flavor stability in accelerated storage tests after 8 d in the dark at 60°C and after 8h at 7500 lux at 30°C, conditions generally considered in stress testing. Room odor testing indicated that the low-linolenic oils showed significantly lower fishy odor after 1 h at 190°C and lower acrid/pungent odor after 5 h. Potatoes were fried in the oils at 190°C after 5, 10 and 15 h of use. Overall flavor quality of the potatoes fried in the low-linolenic oils was good and significantly better after all time periods than that of potatoes fried in the standard oil. No fishy flavors were perceived with potatoes fried in the low-linolenic oils. Total volatile and polar compound content of all heated oils increased with frying hours, with no significant differences observed. After 15 h of frying, the free fatty acid content in all oils remained below 0.3%. Lowering the linolenic acid content of soybean oil by breeding was particularly beneficial for improved oil quality during cooking and frying. Flavor quality of fried foods was enhanced with these low-linolenic acid oils.     

Low-linolenic acid soybean oil—Alternatives to frying oils

Oil was hexane-extracted from soybeans that had been modified by hybridization breeding for low-linolenic acid (18∶3) content. Extracted crude oils were processed to finished edible oils by laboratory simulations of commercial oil processing procedures. Oils from three germplasm lines N83-375 (5.5% 18∶3), N89-2009 (2.9% 18∶3) and N85-2176 (1.9% 18∶3) were compared to commercial unhydrogenated soybean salad oil with 6.2% 18∶3 and two hydrogenated soybean frying oils, HSBOI (4.1% 18∶3) and HSBOII (<0.2% 18∶3). Low-18∶3 oils produced by hybridization showed significantly lower room odor intensity scores than the commercial soybean salad oil and the commercial frying oils. The N85-2176 oil with an 18∶3 content below 2.0% showed no fishy odor after 10 h at 190°C and lower burnt and acrid odors after 20 h of use when compared to the commercial oils. Flavor quality of potatoes fried with the N85-2176 oil at 190°C after 10 and 20 h was good, and significantly better at both time periods than that of potatoes fried in the unhydrogenated oil or in the hydrogenated oils. Flavor quality scores of potatoes fried in the N89-2009 oil (2.9% 18∶3) after 10 and 20 h was good and equal to that of potatoes fried in the HSBOI oil (4.1% 18∶3). Fishy flavors, perceived with potatoes fried in the low-18∶3 oils, were significantly lower than those reported for potatoes fried in the unhydrogenated control oil, and the potatoes lacked the hydrogenated flavors of potatoes fried in hydrogenated oils. These results indicate that oils with lowered linolenic acid content produced by hybridization breeding of soybeans are potential alternatives to hydrogenated frying oils.     

Carbon dioxide blanketing impedes the formation of 4‐hydroxynonenal and acrylamide during frying. A novel procedure for HNE quantification

Acrylamide and 4‐hydroxynonenal (HNE) are among the most detrimental compounds formed during high temperature processing of food. The effect of carbon dioxide blanketing (CDB) on the formation and accumulation in food of these compounds during deep‐fat frying was investigated. French fries were fried for 7 h daily and for 7 days in canola oil at 185 ± 5°C without and with CO₂ protection. The amount of acrylamide and HNE accumulated in the French fries were analyzed. Compared to standard frying conditions (SFC), frying under CDB reduced the amount of HNE by 62%. On the 3rd day of frying, the amount of acrylamide in fries fried under SFC was 3.3 times higher compared to frying with CO₂ protection. Frying with carbon dioxide protection is an effective and practical way to impede formation of toxic components during deep‐fat frying. To assess formation of HNE a simple, sensitive and reliable procedure for HNE analysis in frying oils and fried products was developed and evaluated. Practical applications : The toxicity of HNE and acrylamide, coupled with the increasing consumption of fried foods necessitates that measures be taken to reduce their formation and subsequent accumulation in fried foods. The frying method proposed in this study is very effective and requires only a simple modification to the fryer. Developed rapid and simple procedure for HNE analysis allows more accurate quantification.     

Plasma Modified Membrane for Daily Recovery of Oil from Repeated Frying Operation with Frequent Oil Replenishment

Sunflower oil was used for deep frying of potatoes at 170 ± 5 °C and for 8 h per day for 5 days in a fryer with an automatic oil filtration system. Three different frying operations were performed: operation (OP)-1, OP-2 and OP-3; that correspond to the oil unfiltered at the end of each frying day, the oil filtered through the fryer's own filter (passive filtration) and the oil firstly subjected to passive filtration and then filtered through a polyethersulfone membrane modified with hexamethyldisiloxane via radio frequency plasma (75 W-5 min, discharge power–time), respectively. The performance of each operation was investigated in terms of free fatty acids (FFA), conjugated dienoic acids (CD), TOTOX value, total polar content (TPC), Hunter color, viscosity, fatty acid composition, and tocopherol content. The results showed that OP-3 could decrease FFA, CD, TOTOX, TPC, L*a*b* value, viscosity and linoleic acid (18:2)/palmitic acid (16:0) ratio in 29.6, 11.7, 25, 30.8, 6.1*11.3*20.8*, 7.8, 12.2 %, respectively, compared to the unfiltered oil (OP-1). Regenerated oil from OP-3 had a frying life approximately 17 h more than oils from both OP-1 and OP-2.     

Chemical Changes of Canola Oil During Frying Under Atmospheric Condition and Combination of Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide Gases in the Presence of Air

The effects of different frying methods; frying under atmospheric condition and frying in the presence of different ratios of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases; were investigated on chemical changes of canola oil. The tests were conducted four times per day during four consecutive days. The chemical changes of oil samples were determined by analyzing peroxide value (PV), p-anisidine value (p-AV), totox value (TV) and acid value (AV). Irrespective of the test methods, PV increase was observed on the first day followed by significant (p < 0.05) reduction in the subsequent days. On the first day, the highest p-AV and TV was observed in oil fried under atmospheric condition and the lowest p-AV and TV for those fried under gases. However, from the second day, the p-AV and TV in frying under different ratios of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the frying under atmospheric condition. Additionally, hydrolysis and oxidation of oil during frying resulted in continuous AV increase that among them atmospheric frying had the highest AV. In conclusion, atmospheric frying accelerates the rate of oil deterioration and application of nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases in the fryer could reduce the rate of oil disintegration.
