The objectives of this study were to compare the quality of shallot-flavoured frying oil from microwave heat treatment with that from gas heat treatment. Frying of shallot pieces by the microwave treatment required shorter heating time to obtain the same colour quality as through gas treatment. The amount of total volatile compounds of shallot-flavoured frying oil obtained from microwave treatment was greater than that from gas treatment. Oil-frying of shallots by microwave heating showed better oil quality, with lower acid and peroxide values than after frying by gas heating. In storage tests these two differently treated oils at 25 degrees C, the acid value (AV) showed no significant increase during storage for 80 days. However, the peroxide value (PV) of these two oils increased in parallel as storage time increased. The effect of moisture content, of the shallots, on the quality of resultant shallot-flavoured frying oil was studied. Slight moisture reduction of shallot pieces from 72 to 63%, by a toasting pretreatment gave the highest amount of total volatile compounds of the shallot-flavoured frying oil. However, this total volatile compounds decreased if the moisture content of shallot pieces was less than 63%.
