Abstract:
The acrylamide distribution and water characteristics in different parts (edge, surface, and core) of potato were studied. The reason was revealed by tracking the changes of acrylamide contents, moisture properties, and microstructure at different airflow velocities (1.8, 2.6, 3.4, 5.0 m/s) and processing times under 180 °C. At the airflow velocity of 3.4 m/s, the concentration of acrylamide generated in the edges of potato strips was the highest (456.22 μg/kg), at least five times that of the core (85.33 μg/kg). The moisture content trend in different parts of potato strips was the opposite, with the edges having the lowest moisture content (8.91 %) and the core having the highest (55.78 %). The immobilized water on the surface of potato strips migrated and evaporated rapidly with airflow velocity and processing time. These findings would be beneficial in rational regulation of air frying and development of potato products with reduced acrylamide.

Amides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
Acid-catalyzed hydrolysis:
Hydrolysis of amides under acidic conditions yields carboxylic acids. Since the reaction occurs slowly, hydrolysis requires the conditions of heat.
The mechanism begins with the protonation of the carbonyl oxygen by the acid catalyst. The protonation makes the amide carbonyl carbon more...
