Then, the GE could decompose to glycidol (BfR, 2009). The analysis of different physical
factors, such as frying time, temperature and degree of degradation (mostly by hydrolysis) of the frying medium, could determine which parameters influence the amount of GE in frying oils, as well as in fried food. Following this, it would be possible to propose ways to decrease the amount of these components in fried products.In addition to being used as a frying medium, palm oils are predominant in the manufacturing of different type of foods on an industrial scale, as well as in fast food restaurants. This makes palm oil a model fat in frying experiments. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the effects of frying temperature and time on oil degradation and the content of GE.
