This study focused on the formation of Maillard hazards in air fried fries, highlighting the correlation between the resultant physical properties of the fries and the formation of Maillard hazards. In the meantime, the effects of air frying on the in vitro starch digestibility of fries were explored. Potato strips were fried at various temperatures (180–200°C) and time (12–24 min). Results indicated that the extent of browning, hardness, and the contents of Maillard hazards (acrylamide, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, methylglyoxal, and glyoxal) all increased steadily with air frying temperature and time. Moisture content were negatively correlated (p < 0.001) with Maillard hazards content and physicochemical properties except for L* with the correlation coefficients range from −0.53 to 0.94, and positively correlated with L* value with correlation coefficient was 0.91, hence, reducing the Maillard hazard exposure while maintaining the desired product quality can be achieved by controlling the moisture content of the air fried French fries. Compared with deep frying (180°C−6 min), air frying decreased acrylamide and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural content with the maximum reduction rate were 47.31 and 57.04%, respectively. In addition, the in vitro digestion results suggested that air frying resulted in higher levels of slowly digestible starch (48.54–58.42%) and lower levels of resistant starch (20.08–29.34%) as compared to those from deep frying (45.59 ± 4.89 and 35.22 ± 0.65%, respectively), which might contribute to more balanced blood sugar levels after consumption. Based on the above results, it was concluded that air frying can reduce the formation of food hazards and was relatively healthier.

Type II L-asparaginase as a pivotal enzyme agent has been applied to treating for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and efficient mitigation of acrylamide formed in fried and baked foods. However, low activity, narrow range of pH stability, as well as undesirable glutaminase activity hinder the applications of this enzyme. In our work, A novel type II L-asparaginase (CgASNase) from Corynebacterium glutamicum with molecular mass of about 35 kDa was chosen to express in E. coli . CgASNase shared only 27 % structural identity with the reported L-asparaginase from Helicobacter pylori . The purified CgASNase showed the highest specific activity of 1979.08 IU mg −1 to L-asparagine, compared with reported type II ASNases in the literature. CgASNase displayed superior stability at a wide pH range from 5.0 to 11.0, and retained about 76 % of its activity at 30 °C for 30 min. The kinetic parameters K m (Michaelis constant), k cat (turnover number), and k cat / K m (catalytic efficiency) values of 4.66 mM, 79,697.40 min −1 , and 17,102.45 mM −1 min −1 , respectively. More importantly, CgASNase exhibited strict substrate specificity towards L-asparagine, no detectable activity to l -glutamine. To explore its ability to catalyze L-asparagine, CgASNase was supplied in frying potato chips, which produced the fries with 84 % less acrylamide content compared with no supply. These findings suggest that CgASNase presents excellent properties for chemotherapy against diseases and great potential in the food processing industry.

A luminescent metal organic framework was prepared by encapsulating Zn–Ag–In–S quantum dots into “French fries”-like MIL-68(In) metal organic frameworks (ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In)). The ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In) had a maximum excitation wavelength at 370 nm and maximum emission wavelength at 620 nm. It was found that the ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In) was efficiently quenched by cytochrome c (Cyt c), which is an important biomarker of early cell apoptosis. The quenching mechanism was ascribed to be an inner filter effect and dynamic quenching of Cyt c towards the ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In), and the enrichment effect of MIL-68(In). Benefiting from the multiple advantages, ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In) was developed as an assay strategy of Cyt c with logarithmic relation between signal quenching and concentration in the range 0.02 to 3.5 μM. The linear equation was (F 0 –F)/F 0 = 0.5043 + 0.2678 × logc Cyt c with a detection limit of 8 nM. Cyt c released by drug induced apoptotic cells was determined by ZAISQDs@MIL-68(In), and this strategy has been utilized for the screening of anticancer drug activity.
