Abstract

High internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) have been introduced as an alternative to liquid oil to improve the quality of air-fried seafood products. In this study, the effect of HIPE coating compared to that of liquid oil or no oil on air-fried squid quality was investigated. The exudation content of oil droplets (ranging from 0.021 ± 0.002 to 0.067 ± 0.005 g) and water loss (7.19 g) in air-fried squid with HIPE coating were significantly reduced compared to those with liquid oil coating. Owing to the homogeneous HIPE coating, the air-fried squid possessed acceptable textural properties (hardness, 2845.04 ± 570.48 g; chewiness, 2405.77 ± 203.55 g), excellent color, and a fried-like flavor, when compared to air-fried squid with or without liquid oil. Interestingly, there was a lower content (5.90 ± 0.18 ng/g) of heterocyclic aromatic amines in air-fried squid with HIPE coating than in those with liquid oil coating (20.18 ± 0.26 ng/g) or without oil coating (21.25 ± 0.50 ng/g). In summary, HIPE, as a novel oil medium, is advantageous for the development of air-frying products.
