Combines Engineering Principles with Biochemistry Knowledge
Battered fried foods consistently remain in high demand despite
concerns about their health aspects, prompting food processors to
develop new methods and alternative oils and batters in the name of
healthy, tasty fried foods and high-performance, cost-effective
frying oil. With contributions from an international panel of food
technology authorities, Advances in Deep Fat Frying of Foods
provides straightforward background on the engineering aspects of
deep-fat frying, discusses flavor acquisition during frying, and
delineates novel frying technologies employed to make fried foods
healthier.
Analyzes Product and Oil Changes Due to Frying
With the aid of numerous tables and illustrations, this concise
reference examines changes in fried products both at the
macroscopic and microscopic levels. It reviews heat and mass
transfer and variations found in the physical properties of food
during frying. The book discusses information about the rheological
properties of batters and the effects of batters on product quality
in addition to alternative techniques such as microwave and vacuum
frying used to improve the nutritional aspects of fried foods. The
text also covers the formation of acrylamide - a potential
carcinogen formed during frying - collects existing literature on
this newly discovered health risk, and considers how to reduce
it.
As long as they are in demand, food processors will continue to
produce fried foods. Advances in Deep Fat Frying of Foods
demonstrates how to keep up with demand while ideally making fried
foods healthier, tastier, and economically more viable.
