The effective moisture diffusivity obtained in this work ranged from 4.89 × 10⁻⁹ to 5.54 × 10⁻⁹ m² s⁻¹. The sensory results showed that FP and UFP fried samples were significantly preferred by the panelists compared to the UP and untreated fried samples. However, UFP had a negative effect on the color quality of the fried plantain chips.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This work therefore showed that ultrasound-freeze-drying pretreatment is a novel technique that can significantly reduce the moisture content and oil uptake of plantain chips during frying, thus promoting healthy and safe consumption of fried plantain chips. Furthermore, the information on frying kinetics obtained from this work would be useful in the design and control of an efficient frying system in the food industry.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":93795,"journal":{"name":"JSFA reports","volume":"5 6","pages":"278-289"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jsf2.70008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144367369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
