Abstract: | Oxidation-derived volatiles in French fries were evaluated relative to sensory characteristics of the fries and of the frying oils (low linolenic acid soybean oil, LLA; creamy partially hydrogenated soybean oil, CPH; liquid low linolenic acid hydrogenated soybean oil, LLH; and liquid partially hydrogenated soybean oil, LPH) in which they were fried. Hexanal concentration in French fries increased as oil use time increased for all fats; LLA and CPH produced higher hexanal concentrations in French fries after 10 and 15 days of oil use than did LPH and LLH. Hexanal concentration was negatively correlated with overall odor quality of French fries and positively correlated with grassy, rancid, painty, and chemical odor. Buttery, sweet, and French fry odor decreased and grassy, rancid, painty, and acrolein odor increased as oil use time increased. |
