Does frequent replenishment with fresh monoenoic oils permit the frying of potatoes indefinitely?

The frying life of two monoenoic oils, extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and high oleic acid sunflower oil (HOSO), used to fry potatoes following a domestic frying model, by replenishing the oil in the fryer with fresh oil after each use to maintain the oil volume/fresh potato ratio, was studied by measuring polar content (PC) and triglyceride oligomer (TO) content. A combination of column and high-performance size-exclusion chromatography was used. Changes in the PC and TO content of both oils according to the number of frying uses were adjusted to linear, logarithmic, and power equations. While all three equations reflected the alterations quite accurately (p < 0.001), the logarithmic and power equations defined them best. Frequent replenishment of both frying oils with fresh oil produced a stabilization of PC and TO levels after 20-40 uses. According to the linear adjustment equation, 321 +/- 33 frying operations with EVOO and 290 +/- 40 with HOSO would be needed to raise PC to 25%. To reach the 10% TO level set for discarding oil used in frying, EVOO and HOSO would have to be used 319 +/- 35 and 241 +/- 37 times, respectively. Using the power adjustment, however, the theoretical frying life of both oils would be much higher (at least 4460 frying uses before reaching a 25% PC and 538-1552 uses for the EVOO and 249-1319 uses for the HOSO to reach a 10% TO level). The frying life of EVOO and HOSO would be extended almost indefinitely (at least 170000 uses) when the logarithmic adjustment was applied. These data suggest that frequent replenishment of used monoenoic oil with fresh oil permits one to fry sets of fresh potatoes a very high number of occasions.
