A questionnaire survey on the edible oils used for deep frying in the home was conducted in 1998in the Kinki District of Japan.
The respondent used an average of three types of edible oil, the most popular combination being salad oil, sesame oil and olive oil. The oil most commonly used for deep frying was salad oil, with safflower and rapeseed oil also being used for this.
The criteria applied for buying oil for deep frying were the price, variety and expiration date. The parameters used for determining the life of the frying oilswere, in the order of number of answers, color (light brown), number of times used, smell and foaming property. It was apparent that the criteria for purchase and the frequency of deep frying for home cooking affected the utilization of edible oils for deep frying.
These results indicate a perception of health and convenience in the utilization of edible oils for deep frying in home cooking.
