Reducing Carbohydrates

French fries are very consumed food products in fast-foods, restaurants, as well in consumer households. During frying process, the chemical contaminant acrylamide is formed, which is the result of the reaction between the amino group of asparagine and the carbonyl group of reducing carbohydrates (mainly glucose, fructose and maltose). The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of potato variety (Asinaria, Marvis) and type of oil (sunflower, palm) used on the level of acrylamide formed in potatoes fried in fast-food conditions. The acrylamide content was determined by GC-MS/MS using the SPE technique. For both potato varieties, the use of sunflower oil when frying potatoes led to a higher acrylamide level (288.11 ÷ 295.86 µg/% d.m.) compared to French fries fried in palm oil (227.44 ÷ 242.82 µg/% d.m.). The acrylamide level was correlated with the content of reducing sugars in the composition of the potato variety. The Asinaria variety which had the highest content of reducing carbohydrates (3.92% d.m.) determined the highest level of acrylamide. Correlations between the level of acrylamide and color parameters L* and a* were found: as the level of acrylamide increased, the color parameter L* decreased and the parameter a* increased. The potato variety and type of oil used for frying influenced the acrylamide level formed in French fries.

French fries, prepared either at home or in fast food restaurants, are one of the most desired dishes of Romanians and the main contributors to the intake of acrylamide through the diet. The aim of this study was to investigate how the frying in at home and fast food conditions influences the acrylamide level of French fries and to establish a correlation between acrylamide content and the color parameters. Potatoes from the Queen Anne variety and two types of oil (sunflower, palm) were used. Frying in at home conditions was realized in a pan in sunflower and palm oils (103°C for 13-15 minutes) and frying in fast food conditions was performed in a fryer using only palm oil (170°C for 11 minutes). Determination of acrylamide was achieved fallowing the GC-MS/MS method. The level of acrylamide in French fries fried in at home conditions showed higher acrylamide content when the sunflower oil was used (764.58 µg/kg) compared to the samples fried in palm oil (541.65 µg/kg). Also, a variation between the two types of frying was observed when using palm oil and a lower acrylamide level was obtained for French fries fried in at home conditions (541.65 µg/kg) than for potatoes fried in fast food conditions (684.37 µg/kg). For all the samples analyzed the acrylamide content exceeded the benchmark level of 500 µg/kg set by the Commission Regulation (EU) 2017/2158. Linear correlations between acrylamide levels, expressed in % d.m., and the color parameters (L*, a* and b*) were found: as the level of acrylamide increased, the parameters L* and b* (R2 = 0.80) decreased, and a* increased (R2 = 0.68).

Foram avaliados parâmetros de qualidade da batata frita obtida pela fritura com gorduras de diferentes composições em ácidos graxos. Três lotes de 100 g de batatas cortadas tipo chips foram levadas à fritura em três diferentes tipos de óleos (girassol, milho e gordura vegetal hidrogenada). Além da determinação do teor de gordura nas batatas fritas foram realizadas análises de acidez nos óleos e gorduras, antes e após a fritura. Posteriormente, efetuou-se a avaliação sensorial das amostras quanto aos atributos de crocância, rancidez e residual de gordura. A gordura mais saturada apresentou-se mais estável na fritura de batatas, embora tenha sido detectado maior residual de gordura (maior incorporação de óleo na batata) na análise sensorial. Os três óleos utilizados não se degradaram demasiadamente, sendo, portanto, adequados ao processo de fritura de alimentos nas condições deste estudo. FRENCH-FRIES CHARACTERISTICS IN OILS WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF INSATURATION Abstract French-fries quality parameters obtained by frying with oils of different compositions in fatty acids were evaluated. Three lots of 100 g potatos sliced as chips where taken to fry in three different types of oil (sunflower and corn oils, and partially hidrogenated vegetal fat). Analysis of acidity were realized in the oils and fat, before and after the frying process. After this process, sensory evaluation of the samples Pontua ªo was done for the atributes of crunchness, rancidity and residual fat. The higher saturated fat showed more stability in the frying process of potatos, although it was detected the highest fat residual (greater incorporation of oil in potato) by sensory analysis. The three oils utilized didn´t show high degree of degradation, therefore they were considered adequate to the frying process of food in the conditions of this study.

The Impact

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a very ordinary health problem around the globe. CAD is affected by numerous factors like diabetes, obesity, smoking, gender, and diet. However, the association of CAD with diet is understudied in our region that’s why our study was aimed to evaluate the effect of diet on CAD incidence. This cross-sectional study was completed among local population of Rawalpindi, Pakistan in almost 6 months from November 2020 to April 2021. People were taken in our study via set criteria. Data was collected by self-structured proforma. Data analysis was performed by applying IBM SPSS version 25. Descriptive statistics were applied for quantitative variables. Statistical tests like Chi-square test and Spearman correlation analysis were applied to know the association, direction, and strength of study variables. Our current study displays overall high prevalence CAD (17.48%) among study population. Mean value of age for study participants was 45.42 with SD of ±8.01years. Prevalence of CAD was more common among females, faster food eaters and fresh fruit and raw vegetables non-eaters. Gender, fast food, and fresh fruits and vegetables were associated with CHD significantly with p-values 0.030, 0.0007, and 0.0006 respectively. Strength and direction for fast food and CAD association was very strong and positive while for association between fresh fruits and raw vegetables and CAD was very strong and negative with correlation coefficient +0.812 and -0.831 respectively. In a nutshell, current study indicates high prevalence of CAD especially among females, fast food eaters and fresh fruits and raw vegetables non-eaters. Higher consumption of fast foods leads to higher incidence of CAD and vice versa while higher consumption of fresh fruits and raw vegetables bring down the incidence of CAD incidence and vice versa. So, we need to create awareness among people about the impact of food on CAD and gender specific interventions for each gender to lower down the CAD incidence.

The effect of three field heat reduction methods, including temperature lowering stepwise (TLS), temperature lowering gradually (TLG), and temperature lowering immediately (TLI), after harvesting on the quality of Russet Norkotah 3 and red skin numbered line CO 07102-1R potatoes were investigated. The tubers were analyzed at harvest (0 time), when they reached 3 °C, and after 6 months of storage at 3 °C for physiological weight loss, firmness, wound healing, total phenolics content, reducing sugars, and color of french fries. The results indicated that weight and firmness losses were lower under the TLS reduction method after 6 months of storage than TLG and TLI methods. The weight loss in TLS is 12%, TLG 14% and TLI 17% in CO 07102-1R whereas Russet Norkotah TLS is 4%, TLG 6%, and TLI 8% respectively. Wound healing was more effective using the TLS reduction method, especially in Russet Norkotah 3. French fry color was lighter at harvest (USDA grade 0), while there were no differences in the color of French fries prepared from tubers stored under the TLS and TLG methods (both had USDA grade 2). French fries were darker for tubers from the TLI method (USDA grade 4). The total phenolic content and reducing sugars were significantly increased in the TLI field heat reduction method.

Objective. This cross-sectional study examined associations between adolescent dietary behaviors and family/home environments with parent-adolescent dyadic analysis. Methods. Secondary data were analyzed for adolescents and their parents who participated in the 2014 Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating (FLASHE) study. Relationships between adolescent and parent intake of convenience/fast-food, fruits/vegetables, and sugar, as well as family/community and mealtime environments, were examined using Pearson’s correlations, 2-sample t tests, analysis of variance, and general linear model analyses. Results. Among this nationwide parent-adolescent dyad sample (N = 1890), a moderate relationship between parent and adolescent consumption of convenience/fast-foods ( r = 0.426) and fruits/vegetables ( r = 0.416) was found. Adolescent convenience/fast-foods intake differed by sex, neighborhood socioeconomic status, meals eaten with family, and meals eaten in front of the TV ( P < .001 for all) as well as race/ethnicity ( P = .004). Adolescent fruit/vegetable intake differed by home location ( P = .029), school location ( P = .032), meals eaten together with family, meals eaten in front of the TV, and body mass index category ( P < .001 for all). Generalized linear models revealed multiple predictors of adolescent dietary behaviors. Conclusion. Findings suggest dynamic relationships between adolescent and parent dietary cancer risk factors and adolescent fruit/vegetable consumption disparities by multiple environmental factors. Interventions targeting adolescent-parent dyads may help reduce cancer risk associated with diet.
