It was not surprising to note that the potato chips with the greatest
acrylamide content (regardless of frying method used) were
obtained from the White-rose potatoes, a variety that is mostly used
for boiling and baking and is unsuitable for chipping (Table 1). On
the other hand, Shepody, a cultivar that is also not suitable for chipping,
produced potato chips with intermediate acrylamide contents
(537 ppb) under traditional frying but considerably lower
acrylamide values during vacuum frying (38 ppb). The difference
in acrylamide contents between these 2 cultivars was probably the
lower reducing sugar content of the Shepody cultivar (0.18%).
