Reducing the oil absorption and oil deterioration in fried apple slices by ultrasound integrated in infrared frying.

ABSTRACT: The effects of integrated ultrasonic infrared frying (USIF) on the oil absorption of apple slices and the oil deterioration were studied with frequency of 28 and 40 kHz, respectively. Results showed that the heat transfer and moisture migration was accelerated by the integrated ultrasound in IF. The soluble Gal-A content and esterification degree of pectin was increased, the damages of pectin crystal structure and chemical structure in side chain was aggravated. These damages to pectin were intensified with higher frequency (40 kHz) of ultrasound. Lower retention of phenols was found in USIF apple slices, but the flavonoids content had no significant change compared to CF samples. USIF samples showed a smoother morphology, and the pore volume and porosity were reduced by ultrasonication ap
