Abstract

Main objective of this present study was to reduce the fat content of fried zucchini slices with microwave assisted drying step before frying. In this regard, the effects of microwave assisted drying and deep-fat-frying conditions on moisture and oil contents, breaking force and color parameters of pre-dried and fried zucchini slices were determined. Statistical analysis with response surface methodology showed that a significant correlation was found between investigated responses and process variables p≤0.05 . Based on the optimal conditions 10% for weight loss, 159°C for frying temperature, and 180 seconds for frying time produced by the optimization of process conditions, more than 33% reduction in fat content of fried zucchini slices was obtained by microwave assisted drying before frying

Özet

Mevcut çalışmanın ana amacı kızartma işlemi öncesi mikrodalga destekli kurutma işlemi ile kızartılmış kabak dilimlerinin yağ emiliminin azaltılmasıdır. Bu bağlamda mikrodalga destekli kurutma ve kızartma işlem koşullarının ön kurutulmuş kızartılmış kabak dilimlerinin nem, yağ içerikleri, kırma kuvveti değeri ve renk değerleri üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Yanıt yüzey yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen istatistiksel analiz, işlem değişkenleri ile incelenen yanıtlar arasında önemli bir istatistiksel ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir p≤0.05 . İşlem parametrelerinin optimizasyonu sonucunda elde edilen optimum koşullara %10 ağırlık kaybı, 159°C kızartma sıcaklığı ve 180 saniye kızartma süresi göre kızartılmış kabak dilimlerinin yağ içeriklerinde kızartma öncesi mikrodalga destekli kurutma işlemi ile %33’den fazla bir azalma sağlanmıştır
