Simple equation Mt/M∞ = Ktn is evaluated to describe the Fickian mechanism of oil absorption and water release during the frying of tortilla chips in nixtamalized samples with and without lime, where n is characteristic of the Fickian mechanism that changes with food physical and chem cal properties. Moisture releases showed a Fickian mechanism form tortilla chips with lime (n = 0.5) due to water interaction with matrix components and non-Fickian for tortilla chips without lime (n = 0.6). Oil absorption on tortilla chips showed a Fickian mechanism for nixtamalization with lime n = 0.4 and for nixtamalization without lime, one of n = 0.3. The la ger water iffusi n coefficient (Dw) the tortilla hip compared to that of oil diffusion (Do) indicates that water release and oil absorption during frying is not a simultaneous event. During tortilla chip frying, water release fallowed a chemical mechanism due to the interactions of matrix component materials with n > 0.5, while oil absorption presented physical mechanism n < 0.5 that was time independent. Diffusion exponent n, was related to the water released or oil absorption mechanisms.
