Abstract
A novel method for controlling adhesion of food product to process surfaces by manipulating fryer oil composition and treating process surfaces. Adding various chemical species to fryer oil allows control of interfacial tension between food product and process surface. Process surfaces may be abraded to reduce surface area in contact with food product thereby reducing undesirable product adhesion.
