Description
Summary:The aim of the study was to investigate the physico-chemical, sensory and textural properties of fried potatoes. For this study, the thermal treatment was performed using two types of oils (sunflower oil and palm oil). The frying was lead for 8 samples (different shapes), with the processing time of 7 and 10 minutes. Sensory analysis was performed on a target group of 25 panelists. Textural analysis aimed to characterize four texture parameters: hardness, cohesiveness, springiness and chewiness. Also, for each sample was determined the amount of dry matter losses after frying.
