The effects of pressure (21.3, 41.3, 61.3, 81.3, and 101.3 kPa) and temperature (174–184 °C) applied during the post-frying centrifuge stage on the physico-chemical characteristics of atmospheric fried plantain chips were studied. Results showed that the surface temperature dropped very fast during the cooling process while the total oil content gradually increased. The oil uptake in the plantain chips increased by 7.7% after 9 min of post-frying cooling. Though an alteration in moisture and oil content was significantly affected (p < 0.05) by either vacuum pressure or temperature control applied during the post-frying centrifuge step, a higher reduction (p < 0.05) of moisture content by 79.1% and total oil content by 44.9% was observed when the combination of vacuum pressure (21.3 kPa) and temperature control was employed, comparing to the control of atmospheric pressure (101.3 kPa). Plantain chips centrifuged under vacuum pressure at 21.3 kPa without temperature control had higher total extractable phenolic acids and lower acrylamide content when compared to control sample. A reduction of pressure alone produced lighter color, higher crispness, and less volume shrinkage of plantain chips; however, no significant difference (p > 0.05) was observed among the samples centrifuged at different pressures. The application of vacuum pressure at 21.3 kPa together with temperature control for 5 min during the post-frying centrifuge stage was significantly effective (p < 0.05) in reducing moisture and oil content, while samples were less crispiness, shrunk more, and a higher bulk density.
