New theoretical and practical aspects of the frying process

TLDR
In this article, the authors discuss various types of reactions occurring in the food frying operation, possible mechanisms, a new realistic method -OSET index for measuring heat stability of frying oils - and the protective behaviour of substances that enhance the frying stability of oils.
Abstract
The deep-frying process, normally carried out at 140-200 °C, is a very complex system due to the combination of heat and mass transfer between food and frying medium. The system becomes more complicated as the frying operation proceeds, because the composition of the food being fried and the frying medium is changing continuously due to the progressive deterioration of the frying medium. Apart from a variety of chemical reactions occurring, several changes take place in the frying food, such as gelatinisation of starch, denaturation of protein, and decrease of moisture. These changes bring about swelling of the product, formation of a crusty layer, and the appearance of a golden colour, good texture and taste. The precise control of the fryer enables these physical and chemical changes in the frying of food to convert it into a desirable finished product. This article discusses various types of reactions occurring in the food frying operation, possible mechanisms, a new realistic method - OSET index for measuring heat stability of frying oils - and the protective behaviour of substances that enhance the frying stability of oils.

Influence of oil type on the amounts of acrylamide generated in a model system and in French fries.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new heating methodology based on a closed stainless steel tubular reactor was used to study the acrylamide formation mechanism in different mixtures, eliminating some variable physical and chemical factors during the frying process, such as heat flux and water evaporation from and oil ingress into the food.

Factors affecting oil uptake in tortilla chips in deep-fat frying

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the effects of different parameters on the final oil content of tortilla chips and found that only 20% of the total oil content was absorbed by the chips during frying, and 64% during cooling, leaving only 36% at the chip's surface.
