Combined effects of frying parameters and oil content on moisture levels in French fries

The variations in moisture and oil contents of 0.05 m x 0.005 m x 0.005 m slices of potatoes during deep-fat-frying were determined after various frying times at frying temperatures of 150 degreesC, 160 degreesC, 170 degreesC, 180 degreesC and 190 degreesC. Sunflower seed oil was used as the frying medium. A multiple linear regression model was applied successfully to describe the variation of moisture content with respect to temperature, time and oil content. Oil uptake was found to be negatively correlated with moisture content and changed quadratically with frying time. Moisture content decreased, while oil content increased as temperature and/or frying time increased. Variations in oil uptake and moisture loss remained almost constant after 120sec of frying process.

Differential scanning calorimetry determination of gelatinization rates in different starches due to microwave heating
Ndife, M; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Bayindirh, L (1998-01-01)
Wheat, corn and rice starch dispersions having water-starch ratios of 1.0:1.0, 1.5:1.0 and 2.0:1.0 (w/w) were heated in a microwave oven for 15 to 30 s and the degree of gelatinization was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. During 15 to 25 s of microwave heating, corn starch gelatinization rates were significantly lower and slower than wheat and rice starch rates. Beyond 25 s of heating no significant difference in the degree of gelatinization was detected. Microwave heating was nonuniform and...
Investigation of combustion characteristics of biomass and coal mixtures in a circulating fluidized bed combustor
Varol, Murat; Atımtay, Ayse; Department of Environmental Engineering (2013)
In this study, combustion and co-combustion tests of Bursa/Orhaneli lignite with two biomass fuels (olive cake and woodchips) were carried out in a laboratory scale Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) combustor, 6 m high and 108 mm inside diameter, in order to investigate the effect of excess air ratio (l), secondary air ratio (SAR) and location of secondary air injection along the combustor wall on the emissions. Optimum l and SAR was determined for each test. The flue gas emissions were compared with limits i...
Investigation of physicochemical properties of breads baked in microwave and infrared-microwave combination ovens during storage
Ozkoc, Semin Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Turabi, Elif (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-1-27)
Staling of breads baked in different ovens (microwave, infrared-microwave combination and conventional) was investigated with the help of mechanical (compression measurements), physicochemical (DSC, X-ray, FTIR) and rheological (RVA) methods. The effect of xanthan-guar gum blend addition on bread staling was also studied. Xanthan-guar gum blend at 0.5% concentration was used in bread formulation. The gums were mixed at equal concentrations to obtain the blend. After baking, the staling parameters of breads ...
A new exposure route to trace elements in indoor particulate matter.
Broomandi, P; Amouei, Torkmahalleh; Akturk, M; Ngagine, Sh; Gorjinezhad, S; Ozturk, F; Koçak, Mustafa; Kim, J (2019-12-30)
Concentrations and emission rates of sixteen trace elements in emitted PM during heating soybean oil using three types of pans, including Teflon, granitium, and cast-iron, were investigated. Statistically significant decreases in Mn and Co emission rates were observed when the oil was heated in the cast-iron pan compared to Teflon and granitium pans. Among the released trace elements, Ni, Ba, Zn, and Cr had more contribution to the emission rate. The concentrations of Fe in the emitted PM1 were found to be ...
Investigation of co-combustion of coal and olive cake in a bubbling fluidized bed with secondary air injection
Atımtay, Aysel (2009-06-01)
In this study, a bubbling fluidized bed of 102 mm inside diameter and 900 mm height was used to burn olive cake and coal mixtures. Tuncbilek lignite coal was used together with olive cake for the co-combustion tests. Combustion performances and emission characteristics of olive cake and coal mixtures were investigated. Various co-combustion tests of coal with olive cake were conducted with mixing ratios of 25%, 50%, and 75% of olive cake by weight in the mixture. Operational parameters (excess air ratio, se...
