In the present study, xanthan gum (0.4%), soybean fiber (2%), and whey protein (4%) were separately added to the batter made up of medium-gluten wheat flour, corn starch, baking powder, salt, and water. Breaded and battered fish nuggets (BBFNs) were fried at 170℃for 30 to 180 s (30, 60, 90, 120, 150, and 180 s) in fresh soybean oil to measure moisture and fat content. Kinetic modeling for mass transfer during deep-fat frying was performed by Fick's second law and first order kinetic model. Furthermore, surface oil and penetrated surface oil content were measured and oil absorption was si...
