During deep-fat frying most of the oil remains on the surface but
migrates into the core during holding after frying. Holding of
product immediately after deep-fat frying at elevated temperature
resulted in significant mass transfer from surface to core, thereby
making oil available on the surface, which can be removed by
blotting with absorbent paper. The sensory analysis indicated that
the removal of surface oil did not cause any significant changes in
the product overall quality. The present work thus widens the
scope for further development of a suitable and sustainable alternative
method for obtaining low fat fried product for health
conscious individuals without sacrificing the quality of the product..
