PepsiCo is seeking technologies to provide a healthy alternative to frying food products in edible oils. The desire is to use standard fryers used in food production, so the non-oil product must have a similar viscosity to currently used oils.
Technologies of interest will have:
- Temperature stability up to 230oC to 260oC (450 to 500OF)
- A viscosity similar to conventional edible oils used for frying (e.g., between 20 to 30 mPa at 50OC)
- Thermophysical properties compatible with existing fryer technology
- No adverse impact on product shelf-life
- Approval for use in food production, ideally GRAS approved or with a clear path to compliance
