Effect of Sodium Chloride on Acrylamide Formation During Deep-Fat Frying Of Plantain (Musa paradisiaca)
During thermal processing of food, heat-induced chemical changes occur, which can have both beneficial and deleterious effects. Acrylamide is formed during frying, baking or grilling which occur at high temperature. This study compares the effects of 1%, 5% and 10% of sodium chloride on the amount of acrylamide formed in fried ripe and unripe plantain. The plantain was soaked in sodium chloride...
