Mapping of Traditional Potato Fries (Slap Chips) from Eleven Potato Cultivars

Low-acrylamide French fries and potato chips

SUMMARY Acrylamide is produced in starchy foods that are baked, roasted or fried at high temperatures. Concerns about the potential health issues associated with the dietary intake of this reactive compound led us to reduce the accumulation of asparagine, one of its main precursors, in the tubers of potato (Solanum tuberosum). This metabolic change was accomplished by silencing two asparagine s...

Olive Oil Ameliorates Fries Potato Chips Associated Hazards Effects of Acrylamide

Acrylamide (ACR) is an important industrial chemical substance. ACR is also found in carbohydrate rich foods that prepared at high temperature (>120 o C), such as fries potato chips. Studies approved that high levels of ACR cause several metabolic disorders such as oxidation in liver, small and large intestine tissues. ACR is metabolized by either conjugation with glutathione or oxidation to gl...
