The effect of frying conditions on immersion on moisture loss and oil content were studied at different times in two yam varieties: Diamante 22 and Pico Botella. The experimental data adjusted itself to the first order exponential model for humidity transfer (r > 0.9) for both cultivars. The humidity diffusion coefficient for the two varieties of yam fried at 140°, 160° and 180°C for 1 to 9 minutes were 8.11±0.76, 8.2±0.81, and 8.62 ±0.71*10-9 m2/s for the Diamante 22 variety, respectively, and 8.32±0.82, 8.38±0.78, 8.54±0.84*10-9 m2/s for the Pico de Botella variety. Activation energy was 24.43 kJ/mol for the Diamante 22 variety and 21.27 kJ/mol for the Pico de Botella variety. The results showed that there was higher oil absorption after 180 s and at 140°C while taking into account 0.377 kg water / kg solid moisture loss for Diamond 22 and 0.410 kg water / kg solid Pico de Botella at 180°C for 540 s.
Las condiciones del efecto de freído sobre la humedad y el contenido de aceite a distintos tiempos fueron estudiadas en dos variedades de ñame: Diamante 22 y Pico de Botella. Los datos experimentales se ajustan a un modelo exponencial de primer orden para la transferencia de humedad (r > 0,9) en ambos cultivares. El coeficiente de difusión de la humedad de las dos variedades de ñame, freídos a temperaturas de 140, 160 y 180 °C en tiempos de 1 a 9 minutos fueron de 8,11 ± 0,76, 8,21 ± 0,81 y 8,62 ± 0,71*10-9 m2/s, para la variedad Diamante 22, y 8,32 ± 0,82, 8,38 ± 0,78, 8,54 ± 0,84*10-9 m2/s para la variedad Pico de Botella, y la energía de activación fue de 24,43 kJ/mol para la variedad Diamante 22 y 21,27 kJ/mol para la variedad Pico de Botella. En los resultados obtenidos se observa que a 180 s y temperatura de 140 °C hay mayor absorción de aceite, teniendo en cuenta simultáneamente la pérdida de humedad en el orden de 0,377 kg de agua/kg de sólidos para Diamante 22 y 0,410 kg de agua/kg de sólido para pico de botella a 180 °C durante 540 s.
