Objectives

To determine frying stability of soybean oil with EPT OILShield TM , a natural citric acid-based antioxidant

To determine storage stability of tortilla chips fried in soybean oil with EPT-OILShield TM , a natural citric acid-based antioxidant

Materials

EPT-OILShield TM at 0%, 0.05% and 0.5%

specially prepared citric acid

   

potassium sulphate at adjuvant dose aluminum silicate at adjuvant dose formulated by Energy Potential Technology (EPT) fine white powder

Commercially processed soybean oil (no added antioxidants)

Raw, white corn tortillas

Methods

Intermittent batch frying of tortilla chips at 180 o C for a total of 65 hr heating/frying in 2 L fryer; makeup oil added

Tortilla chips aged at 25C for up to 4 months

Frying oil analyses

Free fatty acids (AOCS Ca 5a-40)

Total polar compounds (AOCS Cd 20-91)

Tortilla chips analyses

Trained, experienced, analytical descriptive sensory

Conclusions

Addition of 0.05% EPT-OILShield TM to soybean oil significantly improved the frying stability compared to a soybean oil control

Addition of 0.05% EPT-OILShield TM to soybean oil significantly improved the storage stability of tortilla chips fried in this oil compared to a soybean oil control

EPT-OILShield TM is high temperature resistant (180C)
