It is worth to investigate the content of 3‑MCPD and GE in fries which also involved high temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters and GE were monitored in fries. The factors that been chosen were temperature and duration of frying, and diferent concentration of salt (NaCl). The results in our study showed that the efect was in the order of concentration of sodium chloride < frying duration < frying temperature. The content of 3‑MCPD esters was signifcantly increased whereas GE was signifcantly decreased, when prolong the frying duration. A high temperature results in a high 3‑MCPD ester level but a low GE level in fries. The present of salt had contributed signifcant infuence to the generation of 3‑MCPD. The soaking of potato chips in salt showed no signifcant efect on the level of GE during the frying. The oil oxidation tests showed that all the fries were below the safety limit. Hence, the frying cycle, temperature and the added salt to carbohydrate‑based food during frying should be monitored. Deep-fat frying is commonly being used to process food. During the process, heat transfer between the fried food and oil is occurs. Te frying oil replaced the moisture in food during the dehydration process. Tus, the frying oil quality is highly infuencing the fried food1. During deep-fat frying, free fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, hydrocarbons, diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol are formed from numerous complex interrelation reactions induced by hydrolysis, oxidation, isomerization and polymerization2. Palm olein is widely being used for deep- fat frying because of the stability of the oil and high smoke point. Tis is due to the unique properties of palm olein, which contain the relative balance of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids3. It is suitable for repeated frying within a certain number of frying cycles. 3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) esters and glycidyl esters (GE) are trace contaminants formed during the high-temperature refning of oils, especially during the deodorization process4,5. Te temperature for deep-fat frying usually is within 150–190 °C6, which fall within the temperature range of refning process. Researchers believe that the 3-MCPD esters are from the conversation of triacylglycerol to cyclic acyloxonium, together with chloride ions7. 3-Monochloropropane-1,2-diol is in vivo carcinogenic and in vitro genotoxic8. Glycidyl esters are suggested to be formed through an intermediate stage during 3-MCPD ester formation via monoacylglycerol-derived acyloxonium ion pathway9. Te free form of glycidyl is a carcinogenic directly acting multisite mutagen in animal studies that reacts readily with cellular nucleophiles. 1Department of Food Technology, Faculty of Food Science and Technology, Universiti Putra Malaysia, 43300 Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia. 2Department of Food Science and Nutrition, Faculty of Applied Sciences, UCSI University, 56000 Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 3Department of Food Safety and Quality, School of Marine Science, Ningbo University, Ningbo 315211, China. 4JNU-UPM International Joint Laboratory on Plant Oil Processing and Safety (POPS), Department of Food Science and Engineering, Jinan University, Guangzhou 510632, China. 5Chemistry Department, College of Science, King Saud University, P.O.

Frying oils that are transferred into the fried potatoes can be the main sources of 3-MCPD esters in fried potatoes10. A potato, which contains carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins and other minor constituents, can undergo a very complex chemical reaction with salt under prolonged high-temperature deep frying 11. Terefore, the infuence of the frying temperature, frying time and salt was monitored. Te concentration of salt used for soaking were from 1 to 5%. Te chosen temperature were 160 °C and 180 °C, and continue the frying for 5 days. Te parameters chosen were to simulate the most common frying condition. Results Infuence of the temperature during frying. Te 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) ester lev- els of fries prepared by frying at 160 and 180 °C with controls (distilled water) and three diferent salt solutions (1%, 3% and 5%) are shown in Fig. 1. Te 3-MCPD esters contents ranged from 0.60 to 2.14 mg/kg oil for 160 °C and 0.89 to 2.51 mg/kg for 180 °C afer each day’s frying. Generally, the 3-MCPD esters in fries under 180 °C are higher than 160 °C. Te GE contents ranged from 5.23 to 6.94 mg/kg oil for 160 °C and 4.56 to 6.30 mg/ kg for 180 °C afer each day’s frying. For glycidyl esters (GE), the fries under 160 °C was higher as compared with fries under 180 °C. Besides that, all the oxidation parameters were increasing with the increasing of frying temperature. Infuence of the frying duration. Te infuence of frying time on the level of 3-MCPD esters in fries was examined from Day 0 to Day 5. Te increasing of the heating duration to Day 5 leads to the reduction of 3-MCPD esters and increase of GE. Te 3-MCPD esters of fresh oil in this study was 3.5 mg/kg. Te 3-MCPD esters was 0.60 mg/kg oil afer 25 frying cycles at 160 °C and 0.89 mg/kg at 180 °C. In other words, the percent decreases were 82.86% for 160 °C and 74.57% for 180 °C. Te GE content in the fresh oil before frying was approximately 4.0 mg/kg. Te GE contents for all tested fries was 9.31 mg/kg oil afer 25 frying cycles at 160 °C and 6.71 mg/kg at 180 °C. Te percent increases were 73.50% for 160 °C and 57.5% for 180 °C. In Table 1, the higher temperature frying system showed signifcantly higher (p < 0.05) FFA contents, which causes the negative efect to the taste of fries. Te conjugated dienes and trienes shows the trends of increasing for both of the 160 °C and 180 °C frying systems when prolong frying duration. Te lower temperature frying system showed signifcant (p < 0.05) lower p-anisidine value, representing a clear reduction in the rate of second- ary oxidation due to the high frying temperature. Infuence of the salt (NaCl). Figure 1 shows the content of 3-MCPD with the infuence of salt. When the concentration of salt was increasing, the content of 3-MCPD esters were signifcantly (p < 0.05) increased. Tis fnding is in agreement with another study that reported that the generation of 3-MCPD esters increased with the increasing sodium chloride concentration12. Te infuences of salt on the GE in diferent frying systems are shown in Fig. 2. Tere was some increase in the GE with the increased concentration of salt. However, there was no signifcant diference (p > 0.05) between diferent concentrations of salt. Te increases of p-anisidine, CD and CT were observed when the amount of salt increased. Discussion Te formation of 3-monochloropropane-1,2-diol (3-MCPD) esters and glycidyl esters (GE) are a multivari- ate problem, which is afected by fat and salt content, processing temperature and time. Tis study is focused on the content of 3-MCPD esters and GE in fries which undergone diferent frying parameters. Te frying oil was absorbed in the fried potatoes during frying. Te content of lipids in the fried potatoes was approximately 40%. Fresh potatoes are mainly made up of water, with an average content of 75%. During the frying, the high temperatures result in a partial evaporation of the moisture in the fries, and travels through the surrounding oil. Te oil replaces the water lost in fries. A higher frying temperature under atmospheric conditions causes more oil to accumulate in the fries. Tis is because the higher frying temperature leads to the rapid formation of a SCIENTIFIC REPORTS | (2020) 10:15110 | https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-72118-z 2 Vol:.(1234567890) www.nature.com/scientificreports/ 160 °C with 1% 160 °C with 3% 160 °C with 5% 180 °C with 1% 180 °C with 3% 180 °C with 5% Characteristics Day 160 °C NaCl NaCl NaCl 180 °C NaCl NaCl NaCl e d de c bc b b a 1 3.17 ± 0.02 E 3.25 ± 0.03 D 3.22 ± 0.02 D 3.36 ± 0.04 E 3.54 ± 0.06 E 3.57 ± 0.15 E 3.65 ± 0.08 E 3.61 ± 0.01 E d d c c c c b a 2 4.37 ± 0.15 D 4.34 ± 0.06 C 4.78 ± 0.07 C 4.83 ± 0.03 D 4.89 ± 0.14 D 4.95 ± 0.13 D 5.11 ± 0.01 D 5.47 ± 0.07 D d dB dB d c bc b a K232 3 5.77 ± 0.13 C 5.97 ± 0.12 5.81 ± 0.24 5.95 ± 0.20 C 6.45 ± 0.12 C 6.59 ± 0.04 C 6.82 ± 0.20 C 7.12 ± 0.09 C e d c bc bc b b a 4 7.06 ± 0.14 B 7.60 ± 0.11 A 7.88 ± 0.23 A 7.83 ± 0.04 B 7.90 ± 0.13 B 8.46 ± 0.06 B 8.52 ± 0.06 B 9.02 ± 0.14 B d d c b b b a a 5 7.49 ± 0.04 A 7.45 ± 0.17
