US Patent:

20220218151, Jul 14, 2022

Filed:

Mar 20, 2020

Appl. No.:

17/604868

Inventors:

- Wayzata MN, US
Steven Hansen - Chanhassen MN, US
Todd KURTH - Maple Grove MN, US
Kevin WIRTZ - Eden Prairie MN, US

Assignee:

Cargill, Incorporated - Wayzata MN

International Classification:

A47J 37/12
A23L 5/10

Abstract:

Various embodiments provide a method of frying. A method includes heating frying oil to a frying temperature and maintaining the frying oil at the frying temperature for a frying period. During the method no part of the oil exceeds 220 C. A system for using the method of frying includes a pot for holding a frying oil, a heating element for heating the frying oil, and a jacket surrounding the heating element. The jacket prevents direct contact between the frying oil and the heating element. The jacket is configured to uniformly distribute heat produced by the heating element within the pot such that the frying oil has less than 10 area % polymers at the end of heating and maintaining the frying oil at a frying temperature for a frying period.

International Classification:

G01N 21/3577
G01N 33/03

Abstract:

A characteristic of edible oil may be evaluated using a spectrometer. For example, optical reflectance data may be obtained from edible oil in situ in a frying apparatus housing the edible oil, the reflectance data corresponding to a specified range of infra-red wavelengths. A model profile corresponding to the characteristic being assessed may be obtained, such as from a repository housing a secured library of such profiles. The model profile may define a regression vector for use in transforming the reflectance data to generate a value corresponding to the characteristic being assessed. A criterion may be applied to the value to establish a simplified representation of the characteristic for presentation to a user for assessment of oil quality.
