Frying is a traditional heat processing method for the food
preparation throughout the world. Deep fat frying involves
simultaneous heat and mass transfer process in food processing
operations (Debnath et al., 2003, 2009). The quality of the
products from deep-fat frying depends not only on the frying
conditions but also on the type of oils and foods used during
the process (Chen and Moreira, 1997). Frying oil plays a dual
role in the preparation of fried foods because they serve as a
medium of heat transfer as well as contribute to the texture
and flavor characteristics.
