Other authors observed that the application of pectin coatings (2% w/v) reduced significantly the
acrylamide formation in banana chips (around 33%), while helping to slightly improve the organoleptic
attributes and crunchiness of the final product [82]. In addition, a synergic effect of the combination of
pectin edible coatings and blanching treatments at 90 or 100 °C for 1 min was observed, resulting in higher
acrylamide reduction in fried-banana chips up to 91.9% and 90.8%, respectively. In summary, all these
results indicate that the use of pectin coatings in pre-frying treatments is a promising process to reduce
the lipid uptake and acrylamide content in potato and banana chips, respectively.
