Optimization of deep-fat frying operations

Abstract Deep-fat frying is one of the most important unit operations in both the catering and food processing industries. Although many aspects of the frying process are still poorly understood, studies of the chemistry and physics of frying in recent years have provided the means of optimizing the process. In addition to ensuring consistent, high-quality products, such optimization procedures can improve the profitability of frying operations.
