Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in technology relating to methods for the in situ treatment of cooking oils and fats.
  • references to oils should be interpreted as being references to animal, vegetable, nut or synthetic oils and fats (which are generally solid at room temperatures).
  • references to fryers herein should be taken as including any frying equipment, chamber, pan, tank, commercial, domestic or industrial fryer.
  • Deep fat frying has become one of the most popular methods of cooking in domestic, restaurant and industrial establishments throughout the World. Because of the high temperatures involved (typically 160 to 200°C) it is relatively quick, cooks food right through to the middle, generates a distinctive crust on the food and perhaps most importantly produces rich and complex flavours and food textures, which are very appealing to the consumer.
  • Cooking oil is expensive: high end olive oils are more expensive per litre than petrol or diesel and the price of even lower end cooking oils is comparable to that of petrol or diesel. Cooking oils have to be replaced frequently as the oils degrade during the cooking process, as more fully explained hereinafter. Also cooking oils (and their breakdown products) are absorbed by the food cooked in them which therefore necessitates the operator of a fryer to regularly keep the oil or fat topped up by the addition of extra cooking oil or fat. Cooking in oil therefore comes at a relatively high price compared to boiling in water or roasting in air. The frequent changing of cooking oil in kitchens, restaurants and food preparation industrial sites is also a labour intensive and laborious task, which is costly and increases equipment down-time. Unfortunately it is not possible to extend the life of cooking oils and fats merely by filtering out the food debris which frequently accumulates within them. During use cooking oils and fats do not remain unaltered but begin to chemically breakdown.
  • Cooking oils and fats are commonly referred to as triglycerides but are in fact
  • triacylglycerols i.e. triesters of glycerol (1, 2, 3 propanetriol, which is commonly referred to as glycerine) and three fatty acids.
  • the fatty acids do not need to be of the same type and frequently are not).
  • Common chain lengths for the fatty acids are 12 to 24 carbon atoms with 16 and 18 being particularly favoured.
  • the breakdown of such triglycerides is complex, dependent on numerous factors and is subject to numerous feedback effects but involves three well-understood basic mechanisms: oxidation, polymerisation and hydrolysis.
  • Oxidation occurs when air comes in contact with frying oil, (see for example Josephson and Lindsey 1987, Journal of Food Sciences, 52, 328 and Fischer and Muller 1991, Potato Research, 34, 159). Oxygen from the air reacts with the two unsaturated carbons at the double-bond via a free radical initiated reaction. The oxidation reaction is promoted by high cooking temperatures (typically 190°C and above), the presence of metals (including in particular copper and iron) and the presentation to the air of a large surface area of the oil as well as exposure to UV light, which promotes free radical formation. Initially hydroperoxides are produced but these are unstable and at frying temperatures they rapidly break down (via e.g.
  • Hydrolysis is caused by the reaction of water (a weak nucleophile) with the ester linkage in the triacylglycerol molecule to produce initially a diaglyceride and a free fatty acid, which then further breakdown to produce various compounds including lactones.
  • water a weak nucleophile
  • free fatty acids are frequently associated with a characteristic rancid or acidic flavour.
  • free fatty acids are one of the main constituents of smoke haze and are both a fire and a health hazard.
  • the smoke point of an oil is the temperature at which it is seen to start smoking under specified test conditions.
  • the flashpoint of an oil is the temperature at which volatile products are produced in sufficient concentration and quantity to allow ignition.
  • the fire point of an oil is the temperature at which the rate of production of volatile products is sufficiently high to support continuous combustion of the gases emerging from the surface of the oil.
  • concentration of surfactants in cooking oil on the properties of the food cooked in such oil is well-known (see e.g. Blumenthal MM A New Look At The Chemistry And Physics Of Deep Fat Frying: Food Technology, 1991, 45:2, 68 -71, 94).
  • chips are cooked in fresh unused cooking oil they are light in colour and do not have the rich complex aromas associated with fried potatoes.
  • the oil, during this "break in” phase has only low levels of surfactants (such as free fatty acids), which means that the oil has a relatively high surface tension which prevents the oil having close contact with the food.
  • oils contain increased amounts of trans-fatty acid side chains on the glycerol backbone, which are a material health hazard.
  • pancreatic enzymes lipases
  • bile secretions The resultant fatty acids and glycerol are then absorbed by cells lining the intestines called enterocytes, where they are re-esterified into triglycerides and transported to the liver as chylomicrons.
  • enterocytes cells lining the intestines
  • the fatty acids are repackaged into triacylglycerols and phosphatidylcholine and thence into lipoproteins.
  • High levels of trans fatty acids in the diet are associated with raised serum levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and with lower levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in humans.
  • Raised serum LDL and reduced serum HDL levels are associated with coronary artery disease, increased risk of stroke and elevated blood pressure as they decrease the health of the endothelium, the cells lining the arteries of the body which are essential for good cardiovascular health.
  • Studies in humans further demonstrate that trans fats increase inflammation in the body, a potent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other diseases. Studies in primates have
  • trans fats cause weight gain, especially increasing abdominal fat, which has the greatest metabolic consequences, and worsens insulin resistance, the precursor to diabetes.
  • the amount of trans-fatty acids absorbed in the diet should be kept at low levels.
  • One way of achieving that is to reduce the amount of cooking oil absorbed by fried food.
  • Various ways have been suggested to prolong the useful life of cooking oils. Some of these involve the step of removing the cooking oil from the fryer, followed by the step of subjecting it to one or more treatment methods to remove the contaminants before finally returning the treated oil back to the fryer. Other methods provide for at least the complete cessation of the cooking process, treatment and then the recommencement of the use of the oil.
  • US-A4112129 discloses a method of filtering the cooking oil through a composition comprising by weight (i) 47 to 59 parts diatomite, (ii) 28 to 36 parts synthetic calcium silicate hydrate and (iii) 12 to 24 parts synthetic magnesium silicate hydrate.
  • US 4681768A discloses a method for the continuous filtration of cooking oil with a filter made from synthetic calcium silicate. The method involves removal of the oil from the fryer, passing it through the filter and then passing it back into the fryer.
  • GB 2006729 discloses a method for filtering used cooking oils to remove free fatty acids, which uses synthetic calcium silicate but does not disclose an in situ solution suitable for unadapted fryers.

  • the above methods either require the addition of powders to the oil, which is undesirable as they may contaminate and change the texture and taste of any food cooked therein or require the a further container to be added to oil, which will often be problematical during use of the fryer.
  • Foaming is encountered with the filters the subject of the BBM Patents particularly in cooking environments where a lot of hydrolysis takes place due to large amounts of wet food being cooked (for example frozen chips).
  • Silasorb (Celite Corporation, Denver, Colo.) which is a synthetic calcium silicate, as their filter medium because it is very effective in lowering free fatty acid concentration.

  • the invention extends also to fryers and frying equipment having a base and/or sidewall formed with a depression or recess comprising or for receivably holding or interfacing with an enclosure or cover or comprising (at least in part) such an enclosure or cover. Examples of such equipment are depicted in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the partial or complete covering or enclosure of the said filters reduces the frequency of foaming or eradicates it completely as it decreases the concentration of calcium ions which leach out of the filter by reducing the rate of flow, due to thermal convection, of cooking oil across the surface of the filter.
  • the cooking oil typically contains between approximately 0.1 to 2 percent free fatty acids, depending upon, inter alia, the type of oil, what has been cooked in it, the frying temperature and the surface area of the oil exposed to air, this in turn reduces the rate at which calcium and in particular calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate minerals are attacked by the free fatty acids in the cooking oil.
  • the use of such an enclosure or a cover may also decrease the extent to which calcium hydroxide is dissolved in the water which exists in the cooking oil typically as a suspension or emulsion.
  • the solubility of calcium hydroxide in water is generally inversely related to its temperature (i.e. it decreases as the temperature of the water rises) and given that many cooking oils will be at or near room temperature for prolonged periods when not in use then it is likely that the water in the oil does materially dissolve the calcium hydroxide in the filters.
  • Calcium hydroxide is a major component of the filters disclosed in the BBM Patents, being one of the main reaction products of the main cement minerals alite and belite with water. It typically accounts for between twenty to thirty five percent by weight of the filter products disclosed in the BBM Patents.
  • the cover may also simply protect the filter from water dropping down from the basket or other food containment means, when high water content food is added to the oil: for example solidly frozen chips contain a lot of ice which has a relatively high latent heat capacity and therefore the melting of which materially reduces the temperature of the cooking oil possibly allowing, given that the water has a higher density than the cooking oil, some of the emerging water to simply fall downwards on to the filter.
  • Enclosures or covers of the type herein described also prevent food debris from covering the filter or at least reduce the extent to which that happens. Such food debris may accelerate the degradation of the surface of the said filters.
  • a further advantage of using an enclosure or cover of the type described herein is that it makes it practical to use relatively large numbers of smaller separate filter elements. This is advantageous as the use of a plurality of small filter elements materially increases the surface area of the filter media and promotes their efficacy during operation. Addition of Silica fume/microsilica
  • sillica fume or microsilica is a by-product of the production of silicon or ferrosilicon alloys, which is achieved by the reduction of quartz (the mineral) in an electric furnace. Some SiO is lost as a gas, which is then rapidly oxidised by the oxygen in the air to give a very fine white or grey particulate solid.

  • High quality silica fume consists of spherical particles of glass typically with a diameter of about 100 run and having a surface area of 15 to 25 m 2 g- J . Glass flakes made using the technology disclosed in European patent (UK) No. 0,289,240 may be made with very tightly controlled dimensions and even higher surface areas and are particularly suitable for the present application.
  • incorporation of silica fume into cement has several effects due to its strong pozzolanic activity. It accelerates the hydration reactions of the clinker phases (particularly alite). The fine microsilica particles fill the spaces between clinker grains thereby producing a denser paste and stronger overall cement.
  • the addition of microsilica further reduces the amount of free calcium hydroxide produced by the hydration of alite and belite and promotes the production of calcium silicate hydrate gel.
  • the use of microsilica has been known to be beneficial for the production of cement in the construction industry the effect of the addition of microsilica in filters of the type disclosed in the BBM Patents to reduce foaming has not hitherto been shown. The effect is further described by reference to example 4 below. Without wishing to be bound by any theory it is thought that the reduction in foaming demonstrated in example 4 is caused by the greater resistance to acid attack of CSH gels relative to calcium hydroxide and their lower solubility in water dissolved in the oil.
  • the entrained air void system in cement can be viewed and determined from the examination of a cut and polished section of a hardened cement sample, using microscopic techniques in accordance with ASTM C457 (standard test method for microscopical determination parameters of the air void system in hardened concrete).
  • Such air voids provide empty spaces within the cement or concrete and are known to act as storage sites for freezing water moving in the capillary pores, thereby relieving the pressure generated during freezing and preventing damage to the cement or concrete.
  • air entraining agents to mixtures of the type used to make the filters of the type described in the BBM Patents produces very much more porous filters, which absorb very considerably much more free fatty acid than filters without such air entraining agents.
