The dried starch flakes contained no fat; therefore the
fat contents in both products were derived from the
frying oil. The higher fat content in the experimental
product would appear to suggest that the experimental
product absorbed more oil due to the peculiar swelling
and liquid absorption characteristics of the breadfruit
starch at elevated temperature (Loos et al., 1981).
Relatedly, the energy content of the experimental product
was higher than that of the commercial product.
