Abstract:
The goal of this research is to investigate the temperature-dependent emission rates of particle numbers and emission characteristics during oil heating. Seven regularly used edible oils were studied in a variety of tests to attain this objective. First, total particle number emission rates ranging from 10 nm to 1 μm were measured, followed by an examination within six size intervals from 0.3 μm to 10 μm. Following that, the impacts of oil volume and oil surface area on the emission rate were investigated, and multiple regression models were developed based on the results. The results showed that corn, sunflower and soybean oils had higher emission rates than other oils above 200 °C, with peak values of 8.22 × 109#/s, 8.19 × 109#/s and 8.17 × 109#/s, respectively. Additionally, peanut and rice oils were observed to emit the most particles larger than 0.3 μm, followed by medium-emission (rapeseed and olive oils) and low-emission oils (corn, sunflower and soybean oils). In most cases, oil temperature (T) has the most significant influence on the emission rate during the smoking stage, but its influence was not as pronounced in the moderate smoking stage. The models obtained are all statistically significant (P < 0.001), with R2 values greater than 0.9, and the classical assumption test concluded that regressions were in accordance with the classical assumptions regarding normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. In general, low oil volume and large oil surface area were more recommended for cooking to mitigate UFPs emission.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...
