This research was focused on a critical assessment of vacuum frying as a technology enabling minimization of acrylamide formation in potato crisps and reducing undesirable chemical changes that occur in frying oil at high temperatures. The potato slices were fried in rapeseed oil under vacuum at 125°C and atmospheric pressure at 165°C. The experiments were performed on two potato varieties, Saturna and Impala. Vacuum frying reduced the formation of acrylamide by 98% and also other Maillard reaction products, specifically alkylpyrazines. Concurrently a lower extent of oxidative changes was observed in the frying oil, while 3-MCPD esters decreased fairly quickly during conventional frying. Sensory characteristics of the vacuum and conventionally fried potato crisps were evaluated by a 23-member panel. The majority of panellists preferred the flavour of 'conventional crisps', while only a few of them appreciated potato-like fresh flavour of 'vacuum crisps' and classified this product as 'tasty'.

β-parvalbumin (β-PV) is the primary fish allergen responsible for most allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to fish. To ensure food safety, a sandwich-based magnetic immunoassay was developed using maleimide-functionalized magnetic beads (NH-MBs). Specific anti-β-PV antibodies were immobilized on these MBs, and a screen-printed carbon electrode was employed as the electrochemical transducer.

This study focused on persimmons and applied variable-temperature pressure-differential puffing drying to produce persimmon chips. The effects of puffing pressure, holding time, drying temperature, and duration on moisture content, crispness, and sensory scores were examined. The optimal parameters determined via response surface methodology were a pressure differential of 0.

Article Synopsis
- * Microwave vacuum drying significantly improved the quality and sensory score of yuba, while vacuum frying reduced cooking loss and improved moisture retention compared to hot air drying.
- * The research found notable changes in yuba's texture and protein structure before and after cooking, with specific models (Peleg for HAD and VFD; first-order for MVD) aligning well with their rehydration processes.

With the rising trend of consumers opting for healthier food items with low oil content, it is imperative to reduce the oil uptake of fried products. The inefficiencies of traditional technologies, including a low heat utilization rate and poor processing efficiency, have been increasingly exposed in industrial production of fried products. This review offers an extensive analysis of the effects of innovative pretreatment techniques (pulsed electric field, ultrasound, high-pressure processing, microwave, radiofrequency, and combined processes) and various novel frying processes (vacuum frying, high pressure frying, microwave frying, infrared frying, ultrasonic-assisted frying and their combinations) on the microstructure modifications and oil uptake of fried foods.
