Unlabelled: Presence of toxic compounds such as acrylamide and 2,4-decadienal in fried products are dependent on frying temperature and time and the frying oil. Combination treatments such as aqueous pre-treatments of potato slices prior to frying; addition of L-proline to pre-treated samples; moisture reduction of samples pre-frying, replacement of refined soybean oil by deodorized-virgin-coconut oil (DVCO) as frying medium; and modification of frying time-temperature regime, were implemented to mitigate acrylamide and 2,4-decadienal in fried potato-crips, concomitantly enhancing their organoleptic quality. Based on similarity values of % acrylamide mitigation, experimental conditions were classified into four main clusters and the optimized conditions of the combination treatments obtained by central composite rotatable design were: blanching at 70 °C for 20 min; addition of 2% L-proline to pre-treated potato slices; and deep-frying in DVCO under modified frying conditions (140 °C, 5 min) successfully alleviated acrylamide (~ 99%) (confirmed by HR-MS and quantified by RP-HPLC) and 2,4-decadienal (quantified by RP-HPLC) in the fried potato-crisps, improving them sensorically. High Pearson's correlation co-efficient ( = 0.9955) was obtained between sensory scores and texture profile analyses data of the fried crisps. This mitigation strategy can be successfully extrapolated to industrial-scale frying for enhanced safety and sensory appeal of fried products.

Reactive carbonyl species (RCS) are a class of compounds with one or more C = O structures with highly reactive electrophilic properties. This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted role of RCS in thermally processed foods, where they serve as both crucial intermediates in the development of food color and flavor, as well as precursors of potentially harmful compounds. By exploring the carbonyl pool concept, the impact of RCS equilibrium on the formation and reduction of hazardous substances such as acrylamide, hydroxymethylfurfural, advanced glycation end-products, and heterocyclic amines was elucidated.

Acrylamide is a food contaminant formed during high-temperature cooking processes, leading to unintentional human exposure. Diet is the primary source for non-smokers, with potatoes, cereals, and coffee being the main contributors. While animal studies have demonstrated that acrylamide is neurotoxic, genotoxic, mutagenic, and cardiotoxic, its effects on human cardiovascular health remain poorly understood.

L-asparagine is an essential amino acid for cell growth and common constituent of all the proteins. During high temperature food processing it reacts with reducing sugars and leads to acrylamide production through a complex process known as Maillard reaction. L-asparaginase hydrolyses the amine-group of L-asparagine to produce aspartic acid and ammonia.

This study investigated the neuromodulatory potential of zinc against acrylamide-induced cognitive impairment. Acrylamide (AA), a toxic substance commonly found in certain foods such as potato, grains and coffee, is known to cause neurological damage and severe cognitive decline. Twenty (20) male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n = 5) by random selection.
