VACUUM FRYING MACHINE

Field / Industry: Food Industry

Patent Number / Registration Number: 2-2016-000404

Status of Application: On – going

Brief Description / Features of the Technology:

This machine can deep-fat fry about 10 kg of food in 1-1.5 hours under reduced pressure of 6kPa in a 110 liters frying tank. At reduced pressure or at vacuum environment cooking lowers the boiling point of water, which then enables the use of lower temperatures for frying measured at around 90-100°C. This then translates the retention of the food’s flavor, color and nutrients; at the same time, the process imparts the crunchy texture of fried food.   The vacuum fryer can process local fruits, vegetables and even marine products like banana, okra, tahong and others.
