Deep-Fat Frying of Yam Slices: Optimization of Processing Conditions Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract: The deep‐fat frying of yam slices was investigated with the aim of optimizing the processing conditions. During frying, frying temperature, initial dry matter and frying time have a significant effect on moisture loss and oil uptake. Response surface methodology central composite rotatable design was used to study the effects of the independent variables on quality attributes of yam chips. Breaking force, oil content, moisture content and color parameters were determined. Statistical analysis with response sur… Show more

“…On the other hand, the D value for fat absorption decreased linearly as the frying temperature increased and Z values showed similar behavior as in the case of moisture loss. These values differed from those reported by Sobukola et al (). The frying kinetics obeyed the first‐order rate constant, and the temperature dependency of moisture loss was higher compared to fat absorption of the fried goat meat sausage in all the samples.…”

“…Activation energy increased significantly with increase in temperature. These are in agreement with the work of Sobukola et al () on atmospherically fried yellow fleshed cassava root slices. It can also be deduced that moisture loss requires more energy than fat absorption.…”

“…As stated by Adebiyi, Obadina, Mulaba‐Bafubiandi, Adebo, and Kayitesi (), breaking force could be related to crispiness or hardness of a sample and it is an important sensory attribute that determines the perception of consumers to a product. Accordingly, a lower breaking force would correspond to a crispier product which is usually preferred by consumers (Sobukola et al, ). The breaking force was significantly ( p ≤ .05) affected by X 1 (Table ).…”

“…The breaking force of the fish samples was determined using a universal testing machine (M500; Testometric AX, Rochdale, England) equipped with a 50 kN load cell (Sobukola et al, ). Fried fish samples of uniform sizes were placed on a metal support (with jaws) at a distance of about 25 mm apart and pressed in the middle with cylindrical flat‐end plunger (70 mm diameter) and at a speed of 2.5 mm/min.…”

“…One potential problem in processed flour is the discoloration and the darkening of the product, which may be undesirable to many people (Onayemi 1986;Sobukola et al 2008). This has been attributed to browning reactions as a result of the presence of water-soluble phenolic substances (Mathew and Parpia 1971).…”
