The development of aroma and flavour in cooked products is a
complex process in which different compounds react to produce
intermediary or volatile compounds. Frying induces oxidation
and Maillard reactions, which are essential for the final aroma
and flavour attributes of the food (Bastida and Sanchez-Muniz,
2001; Romero et al., 2000) and simultaneously responsible for
the formation of undesirable compounds (Mottram, 1998; Nawar,
1998).
