A strategy to reduce the acrylamide in food products would be to reduce the precursor levels in the raw materials.
The precursor levels may be reduced by choosing optimum cultivars and by modification of growth and storage
conditions. For potato processing industries, e.g. industries for chips or French fries, it is possible to reduce the acrylamide
precursor levels e.g. asparagine and reducing sugars either by blanching, by soaking in water or acidic solutions potato pieces, respectively
