The chitosan were heated by frying to restrict moisture lossand decrease oil diffusion to the crusts and also high pickup values than other fried crusts. Therefore, enough batter provided coating and film structure outside the cheese nuggets to avoid too much water evaporation during frying. Porosity negative correlates with moisture content but negatively correlates with frying time. Cutting force may represent crust hardness, and correlation with structure of cheese nuggets. The frying temperature and time also influenced the quality attributes of fried cheese nuggets. TOPSIS analysis revealed the following order of formulation and frying temperature, according to the highest ranking:
