The mathematics of french fries
No full textAlthough the act of cutting a single potato (Solanum tuberosum) into french fries may appear to be trivial, the questions concerning the efficiency of this process on an industrial scale are quite daunting. Therefore, many producers are looking for a rigorous method to evaluate the market potential of a given potato crop by predicting the number and parameters of the fries that can be cut from it. Applying the methods of geometry and numerical analysis our group was able to propose several algorithms that can be directly incorporated into the existing production process. Keywords: French fries, geometry, cutting, Finite Fry Method, simulations, histogram

Sugar-end defect frequency was reduced in French fries prepared from <i>VInv</i>-silencing lines of Ranger Russet.
No full text<p>Sugar-end defects are apparent on nearly half of the fries from Ranger Russet (A) and empty vector (B) control tubers. No sugar-end defect fries where observed in fries from lines 1632-1 (C) and 1632-4 (D) in which the <i>VInv</i> had been silenced using RNA interference. In (A) and (B), fries with sugar-end defects are on the right and fries without sugar-end defects are on the left.</p

"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.

Key aroma compounds of sweet potato fries
No full textThere is no published work on the most important aroma compounds in sweet potato fries, a food increasing in popularity. Fries from the variety Beauregard, both with and without a carbohydrate-based coating, were par-fried and then frozen. Sweet potato fries were prepared by deep frying the part-cooked fries from frozen at 175°C for 140 s in rape seed (canola) oil. The freshly cooked fries were frozen in liquid nitrogen and ground to a coarse powder. Ground samples were shaken with dichloromethane and then extracted using solvent-assisted flavour evaporation, to provide concentrated aroma extracts, which were then analysed. GC-MS used alongside aroma extract dilution analysis showed that Strecker aldehydes and lipid breakdown products were important components of sweet potato fry arom

Globalization of the Frozen Potato Industry
No full textThis paper examines the globalization of the frozen potato industry, including the expansion of production and processing of potato products in the global market place, and future prospects for the industry. Driven largely by the rising popularity of Western style cuisine, frozen french fries and other frozen potato products have become global commodities generating billions of dollars in revenue worldwide. This study finds that with markets for frozen potato products in the United States and other developed countries hardly expanding, the growth of the frozen potato industry will critically depend on industry’s ability to sustain growth in developing economies.french fries, frozen potato products, globalization, quick service restaurants, International Relations/Trade, Marketing,
