Abstract:Fried food is potentially harmful to human health because of its high oil content,susceptibility to oxidative deterioration,and formation of harmful substances during the frying process.Edible film can effectively reduce the oil content in fried food because of its barrier and antioxidant properties,and it has good application prospects in improving the overall quality of fried foods.This paper summarized the application and research progress on edible membrane in fried foods at home and abroad in recent years,and prospected the production of safe,healthy,and low-fat fried food using edible membrane technology.
