The effect of type of frying oil and temperature on the oxidative stability of potato chips during storage was studied. Cottonseed oil, soybean oil, olive kernel oil and palmolein were used as frying media. The chips were packaged in metallized cellophane bags and incubated at 63 °C. At de®nite time intervals the absorbed oil was extracted and analyzed for peroxide value, Totox number and conjugated diene content. Olive kernel oil and palmolein absorbed into the chips showed better stability, whereas soybean oil presented the higher oxidation rate. Frying temperature (170, 180 or 190 °C) did not affect the oxidation rate during storage, with the exception of conjugated diene formation which was greater for chips fried at 190 °C. Ground oregano or oregano extract, obtained by petroleum ether extraction, were added to the chips as antioxidants. Both retarded signi®cantly the oxidation rate of the oil absorbed into the chips, with results comparable to tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) during storage at 63 °C for 7 days; however TBHQ proved signi®cantly more effective after that time.
