Figure 2 shows the effect of frying time on the acrylamide content
of potato chips. The potato variety used was Atlantic. Acrylamide
content increased with frying time and was significantly affected
by the frying method used (Figure 2, 7, and 8). During vacuum frying,
there was a slight increase in acrylamide content as frying time
increased. The final moisture contents were 1.3% 0.1% (wb) and
1.2% 0.1% (wb) for the chips fried with traditional and vacuum
frying, respectively.
