Absorção de gordura em petiscos fritos comumente comercializados em bares cadastrados pela ABRASEL de dois municípios do Rio Grande do Norte. 54f. 2017. Monografia (Graduação em Nutrição) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde do Trairi, Santa Cruz, 2017.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/34769Fried foods are much consumed in Brazil and the increase in the consumption of fried and pre-fried preparations implies the greater absorption by these foods of oils and fats subjected to high temperatures. They are widely marketed in bars, snack bars, restaurants, fast food chains, pastries, as well as street vendors. Thinking about the widespread commercialization of these fritters, the objective of this study is to determine the percentage of fat absorbed after the most commonly fried snacks process in bars in two cities of Rio Grande do Norte, using different oils: soy, corn, sunflower and canola. Frying was developed at the FACISA/UFRN Dietetic Technique Laboratory to perform the fat absorption analysis from the calculations of absorbed oil quantity and oil absorption percentage. According to the results, there was a difference in absorption between the oils and that the oil of canola was the less absorbed by most of the preparations. Also being possible the perception that the type of food and cooking time also influence in this quantity of absorbed oil, besides the conditions of frying and external factors. In this way, it was concluded that it was possible to identify which snacks are commonly marketed between bars registered at ABRASEL and the oil absorption content of each snack. That is, presenting enormous value for the acquisition of knowledge and allows new studies to be performed to aggregate new results and expand the theme on the absorption of different oils from the frying by immersion of different preparations.embargoedAccessAbsorçãoGordurasPetiscosCanolaSojaGirassolbachelorThesis
