Acrylamide is colorless and transparent flaky crystal, odorless and toxic. Its relative density is 1. 122 and its melting point is 84 ~ 85℃. Soluble in water and ethanol, slightly soluble in benzene and toluene. It is easy to sublimate and polymerize. Solids are stable at room temperature and can polymerize violently when they are melted. They are classified as Class 2A carcinogens by the International Agency for Cancer.
Air fryer saves fuel and time than frying pan, but it is not completely healthy;
Although the air fryer consumes less oil and takes less cooking time than the frying pan, it is not completely healthy. In fact, there is less oil, but the heat is lower than that of ordinary frying, but it is still inseparable from the high temperature of 180~200℃, and the time consumption may be longer than that of direct frying in oil pan. Starch in food may generate acrylamide at 120℃, which is not good for health;
Protein and oil produce heterocyclic amines and benzopyrene respectively at high temperature, which may lead to cell gene mutation or tumor. It can be seen that this new cooking method still has health risks, and it is not as good as steaming and boiling to retain the nutrition of food. If you can't live without fried food, eat 1~2 times a week at most, and try to control the intake every time.
Expert Yi Zhu suggested that if you already have an oven at home, you don't need to buy an additional air fryer. After all, it only has frying function, and the oven has more functions.
