| Summary: | affect the final oil content. agreements also validate the frying mechanism proposed by complex frying mechanism is helpful to improve the quality of cooling processes and the temperature of the oil during cooling processes of tortilla chips. Oil absorption decreases as the cooling temperature increases. Initial different frying and cooling time were determined using the effects of different frying and cooling conditions on the Experiments were conducted to validate the mathematical frying and cooling processes for tortilla chips. The good frying were measured. Oil content and moisture content for function of frying/cooling time. Finite difference technique mass transfer Both frying and cooling conditions are critical model. The temperature of the chips during frying and moisture content and thickness of the tortilla chip also moisture content, and oil content were calculated as a oil, moisture, and temperature profiles during the frying and respectively. Comparisons between predicted and observed results showed that the model successfully simulated the simulated by applying energy and mass balance equations to a single chip and a batch of tortilla chips. The temperature, Soxhiet extraction and the convection oven methods, the final products. The frying and cooling processes were The process of deep-fat frying involves simultaneous heat and this study. The mathematical model was used to analyze the to the final product quality. An understanding of the was used to solve the set of partial differential equations. |
