Abstract

The aim of this work was to compare the performances and nutritional characteristics of peanut oil to common frying oils during repetitive frying. The peanut oil had the highest color stability, the lowest initial, and final total polar compounds (TPC) levels among all other oil samples throughout the frying of potato slices. The TPC levels increased in all oils over the course of frying, being impacted more by the initial quality rather than the type of oils. In tocopherol analysis, as a consequence of frying, γ-tocopherol decreased most among the other six tocopherol isomers. Owing to the lack of data on the repetitive frying of peanut oil, this work provides basic information for peanut oil to use for frying purposes.
