showed that acrylamide was formed by heating above 120 C certain starch-based foods, such as potato chips, French fries,
bread and processed cereals. Partial frying of pre-dried potato strips at 170 C for 1 min generated 370 lg/kg of acrylamide. Final frying at 175 C for 3 min increased acrylamide content of par-fry potatoes in almost 460% (French fry acrylamide content of 2075 lg/kg).
