Subsequently enzyme-treated and untreated potato strips were fried for 15 min in 100 ml of oil at 175 C. The fried strips were crushed and placed in 50 ml of ethanol and mixed thoroughly to extract acrylamide. The ethanol extract was concentrated by vacuum evaporation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) for acrylamide using a Stable Wax DA column with FID detector and helium gas as carrier.
