Abstract

Deep frying characteristics of vegetable samosas (an Indian, traditional filled pastry snack food) were investigated. The following frying parameters were studied: moisture diffusivity; thermal diffusivity; activation energy for moisture removal; temp. profile during frying; and effects of frying time and oil temp. on texture of pastry. A diffusion model was used to examine changes in the pastry moisture content during frying; the diffusion coeff. was found to be in the range 2.62-3.42 x 10-8 m2/s for frying oil temp. ranging from 155 to 185
