Pengurangan Penyerapan Minyak dengan Tepung Pragelatinisasi Selama Deep Fat Frying

Abstract

Oil uptake of fried food is quite high during deep fat frying. Pregelatinized flour is one of ingredient that can reduce oil uptake. The aim of this research is to know the effect of pregelatinized flour on oil absorption. Pregelatinized flour can produced by rice cooker, extruder and drum dryer. In this research, water content, water holding capacity, and birefringence characteristic is analysed. Besides, fat content of donuts is measured by soxhlet method. The highest reducing oil uptake to the lowest is 50% pregelatinized flour by drum dryer, 50% pregelatinized flour by extruder and 50% pregelatinized flour by rice cooker. The highest percentage of reducing oil uptake using pregelatinized flour by drum dryer is 33.70%. The highest disruption of birefringence characteristic and water holding capacity of pregelatinized flour can reduce oil uptake
