The lowest concentration of acrylamide was obtained by submerging
the potatoes in green tea extract before frying, achieving a
62% reduction of the toxin. The results obtained in this study
demonstrate that it is possible to diminish the acrylamide formed
in fried potatoes without affecting sensorial acceptance and physicochemical
characteristics (color and texture), using a simple and
economical process that can be applied in homes as well as at the
industrial level, since it does not require any specialized equipment
and involves neither a significant increase in preparation time nor
elevated costs.
