Effect of air fryer based on different cooking medium on cowpea and its vitamin C
In the ordinary air fryer on the addition of water spray DC pump and oil spray electromagnetic pump,developed a dual-jet function of the air fryer.The content of vitamin C in cowpeas were determined by fluorescence method after cooking through different cooking medium,the effects of air-frying with water or oil or only air on the cooking effect of cowpeas and their vitamin C were analyzed objectively,to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the dual-jet functional design.Cowpeas had better cooking effect under air-frying condition with water/oil as medium,and the content and retention rate of vitamin C were higher,the content were(5.19±0.122)mg/100 g and(5.04±0.097)mg/100 g respectively,the retention rates were 29.34%±1.513%and 28.38%±0.985%respectively.The effect of cowpeas cooked under air-frying with only air as medium was poor,the content of vitamin C was only(3.33±0.1 18)mg/100 g,and the retention rate was only 17.75%±0.992%.This is closely related to the physical and chemical effects of water and oil on food during cooking.
