Printed on acid-free paper springer.com v Preface There is little doubt that today’s food industry is faced with a rapidly changing market landscape. The obvious need to continue to provide consumers with nutritious, delectable, safe, and affordable food products which are also profitable for food manufacturers, as well as the ongoing challenge of ensuring the delivery of adequate nutrition to hundreds of millions of disadvantaged people around the world, appears – at least as much as, if not more than, ever – to be at odds with the challenges posed by soaring energy and food commodity prices; fast-paced changes in consumer demographics, habits, and preferences; and the continual need to stay ahead of current and emerging food safety issues.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Read all instructions. 2. Be sure that handles are assembled and fastened properly before using this appliance (see pages 2 and 3). Cracked, broken, or charred handles should be replaced. 3. Always check the vent pipe before use. Hold cover up to light and look through vent pipe to be certain it is clear. 4. Always check the air vent/cover lock to be sure it moves freely before use. 5. Do not fill pressure cooker over ⅔ full. For soup, grains, and dry beans and peas which expand during cooking, do not fill cooker over ½ full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See food preparation instructions. 6. Do not pressure cook applesauce, cranberries, rhubarb, cereals, pastas, split peas, dried soup mixes, or any dry beans and peas which are not listed in the table on page 21. These foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter and may block the vent pipe, pressure relief valve, overpressure plug, and air vent/cover lock.

  • Improving Fried Product and Frying Oil Quality Using Nitrogen Gas in a Pressure Frying System
    Improving Fried Product and Frying Oil Quality Using Nitrogen Gas in A Pressure Frying System Bhundit Innawong Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biological Systems Engineering Kumar Mallikarjunan, Chair John S. Cundiff C. Gene Haugh Joseph E. Marcy George J. Flick James H. Wilson July 20, 2001 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: pressure frying, nitrogen gas, steam, fried product quality, frying oil quality © 2001 Bhundit Innawong Improving Fried Product and Frying Oil Quality Using Nitrogen Gas in A Pressure Frying System By Bhundit Innawong ABSTRACT The commercial pressure frying has been limited to frying huge amount of products due to its dependence on the amount of moisture released from the food for generating the desired pressure. This study investigated the feasibility of using nitrogen gas as a substitute for steam in the pressure frying system. The effects of various process conditions (source of pressure, frying temperature and pressure) on fried product and frying oil qualities were evaluated. Frying experiments were performed on breaded/battered poultry products including chicken nuggets (homogenous) and chicken fillets (marinated, intact muscle). Efforts were also made to develop rapid methods to determine frying oil quality and discriminate among fresh, marginal and discarded oils using a chemosensory (also known as electronic nose) or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR). Frying temperature and pressure affected fried food quality. An increase in frying pressure resulted in tender, juicier products with less oil uptake due to high moisture retention. An increase in frying oil temperature resulted in an increased moisture loss, oil uptake resulting in less tender and juicier products.
