Acrylamide is formed in carbohydrate-rich foods during high temperature thermal processes. There are well-known biological effects from acute exposure to the high levels of acrylamide, so prevention or elimination of its formation is very important to achieve consumer safety. Due to the ever-increasing consumption of potato and high amount of acrylamide in this product and particularly in French-fried potato, the aim of this study was investigating the effect of different pre-treatments effect [blanching in water, immersion in a calcium chloride solution and coating with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)] on reduction of acrylamide content as well as sensory properties of the fried potato. In this regard, the the potato samples were fried in 150°C for 7 min and acrylamide content was measured by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID). The results showed that pre-treatments, either alone or in combination, prevented the formation of acrylamide content varying 27% to 90%, which was statistically significant (p
