Differences Between Vacuum Frying VS Traditional Frying

1. Core Working Condition

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Work under negative pressure vacuum environment
  • Low boiling point of water and oil
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • Normal atmospheric pressure
  • Conventional open / closed tank frying
 

2. Frying Temperature

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Low temperature: 80°C – 110°C
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • High temperature: 160°C – 200°C
 

3. Product Nutrition & Harmful Substances

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Retain vitamins, natural color and original flavor
  • Low acrylamide, no high-temperature oxidation
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • Nutrient destruction & color darkening
  • Easy to produce acrylamide, benzopyrene and harmful substances
 

4. Oil Content & Taste

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Equipped with vacuum de-oiling system
  • Low oil content, crisp and non-greasy
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • High oil absorption
  • Greasy taste, heavy oil residue
 

5. Oil Service Life

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Isolated from oxygen, less oil oxidation
  • Oil reusable, lower production cost
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • Contact with air strongly
  • Oil deteriorates quickly, easy to turn black & sour
 

6. Raw Material Application

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Suitable for fruits, vegetables, seafood, mushrooms (banana, okra, jackfruit, shrimp etc.)
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • Mainly for starch food: potato chips, fritters, fried food
 

7. Preservation & Shelf Life

 

Vacuum Frying

 
  • Fully dehydrated, low water activity
  • Longer shelf life
 

Traditional Frying

 
  • Residual moisture inside
  • Easy to get damp and deteriorate
