Recommendations

[updated 18.03.2013]

As with past International Symposia on Deep-Fat Frying, the participants generated a series of recommendations for enhancing the science and technology of frying. These recommendations were:

1. Support risk-based research and analysis of data to more clearly define safety of potentially hazardous oil degradation products, particularly as oxidized products, and/or those formed in foods during frying. We recommend that these evaluations be expanded to examine the whole food system.

2.Operations working with fried foods at both the restaurant and industrial level need to emphasize what they are doing to produce more healthy meal items (holistic approach).

3. Continue to encourage the development, quantification and validation of rapid test technologies for monitoring fresh and used oil properties.

4. Fryer operators must clearly define specifications for their frying oil(s) with their suppliers and initiate programs to ensure that those specifications are being met.

5. Fryer operators must establish a baseline for their current operations. This serves as a yardstick to properly evaluate any changes to the system, whether that change is a new oil, filter system or product mix. This baseline should include but need not be limited to oil chemistry, food quality, organoleptic parameters of food and operational issues.

6. The potential microbiological risks inherent with coated products and coating applicators should be researched and the real risk defined.

7. The group reaffirms their 2000 recommendation that the best indices for assessment of used oils are total polar materials (TPM) and polymeric triglycerides using recognized methods. Peroxide value, free fatty acids, and anisidine value should not be used as regulatory indices when it comes to monitoring and comparing degree of degradation of different frying oils.

8. Scientists from the European Union working in industry, academia and government should meet to evaluate current regulations for frying oils with regards to harmonization across the EU to ensure the production of safe foods. Regulations should be supported by clinical data.

Dear Readers,
Since 1973, the international symposia on deep-fat frying organized through the DGF and Euro Fed Lipid have been the premier meetings on this misunderstood and underappreciated topic. The frying process is a very popular, efficient and ancient method to prepare foods that have desirable color, appearance, flavor and texture. T he bottom line is that fried foods taste good, hence their popularity. 5,000 year old Chinese texts reference the process.

However, frying is done in oil and the foods that are fried pick up some of that oil, which has resulted in issues with the health and wellness set.

The frying process is one of the most dynamic of all food processes. If one was to classify it as a process, it would be a combination of drying and cooking. Fried foods lose moisture as they cook and depending upon the food being fried, the end product may be moist with a delicious crust (chicken or fish) or dry and crunchy (crisps or chips). Understanding this process and maintaining the quality of the oil is essential to high quality foods. Bad oil equals bad food which causes your customers to go elsewhere.

There are a wide variety of analytical methods, both rapid and official, have been developed to test the chemical and physical properties of heated and abused oils. Hundreds of different compounds have been detected in frying oils and in the food itself, some of which are deemed to be unhealthy. The previous six symposia on deep frying have focused on subjects such as determining the proper chemical indices for evaluating the degree of fat degradation, understanding the frying process from an engineering standpoint and new methods and technologies aimed at improving the overall process. The end result of these symposia have been the establishment regulations to govern foodservice and restaurant frying; they have established guidelines for improving the frying process; and provided oil chemists with analytical tools to better understand how food fries.

The thrust of the most recent symposia in San Francisco in 2005 and Hagen, Germany in 2011 have been to help processors, food service operators, regulators, suppliers and academics better understand the frying process in light of the worldwide emphasis on health and wellness and concerns about the effects on obesity on people and the social systems. Rather than condemning frying o utright, the key has been to improve efficiencies, better understand how the new generation of healthy oils (low- and no trans) oils perform, and even look to the past for lessons on how to do things better.

The technical program of the 7th International Symposium on Deep-Fat Frying looks to address issues such as old and new technologies and products for process improvement, diet and health, the regulatory environment where fats, oils and frying is concerned, and methodologies to better evaluate the oils used for frying and the foods being fried.

Food processors and restaurant operators that fry foods and the suppliers to these industries, which includes oil producers, food and ingredient suppliers, equipment manufacturers and the service trade understand that to remain in business they must not only produce foods that are safe and wholesome, but taste good and are good for you. The pressures on the industry are great, but understanding the process and technologies, the markets and the demands of the business can help build the bottom line. Our goal is to provide you with the knowledge to improve and move forward in the future.

We look forward to welcoming you in San Francisco in February 2013.

San Francisco is the financial, cultural, and transportation center of the San Francisco Bay Area, a region of 7.5 million people which includes San Jose and Oakland. It is the fourth most populous city in California and the 13th most populous city in the United States, with a population of 805,235 as of the 2010 Census.

In 1776, colonists from Spain established a fort at the Golden Gate and a mission named for Francis of Assisi on the site. The California Gold Rush of 1849 propelled the city into a period of rapid growth, increasing the population in one year from 1,000 to 25,000, and thus transforming it into the largest city on the West Coast at the time. After three-quarters of the city was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake and fire, San Francisco was quickly rebuilt.
Today, San Francisco is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, ranking 35th out of the 100 most visited cities worldwide, and is renowned for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of architecture, and its famous landmarks, including the Golden Gate Bridge, cable cars, and Chinatown. The city is also a principal banking and finance center, and the home to more than 30 international financial institutions, helping to make San Francisco rank 18th in the world's top producing cities, eighth in the United States, and ninth place in the top twenty global financial centers..

Since the 1990s, San Francisco's economy has increasingly become tied to San Jose and Silicon Valley, its Bay Area neighbors to the south, sharing the need for highly educated workers with specialized skills. San Francisco became an epicenter of the Dot-Com bubble of the 1990s, and the subsequent Web 2.0 boom of the late 2000s. Many popular and prominent Internet companies and "start-ups" have established their head offices in San Francisco. San Francisco has been positioning itself as a biotechnology and biomedical hub and research center as well.
