The storage stability of potato chips fried in regular (RCO), hydrogenated (HYCO), low‐linolenic (LLCO), and high‐oleic (HOCO) canola oils was compared. Potato chips were fried in each oil over a 5‐d period for a total of 40 h of frying. Chips from frying day 1 and 5 were packaged and stored at 60°C for 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16 d. Lipids were extracted from the stored chips and analyzed for peroxide values, free fatty acids (FFA), conjugated dienoic acids (CDA), and polar components. A trained sensory panel evaluated the stored chips for odors characteristic of oxidation. Chips were also analyzed for volatile components. Potato chips fried in RCO, LLCO and HOCO developed an intense painty odor, whereas chips fried in HYCO developed an intense stale/musty odor by the end of the 16 d of storage. Chips fried in RCO had greater rates of accumulation of peroxides, FFA, CDA, and polar components and developed higher levels of total volatiles over the 16 d of storage than chips fried in the other three oils. Chips fried in HYCO had lower rates of accumulation of peroxides and CDA than chips fried in LLCO and HOCO, and lower rates of FFA accumulation than chips fried in LLCO. Chips fried in HYCO and HOCO had the lowest amounts of total volatiles during storage. The effect of oil degradation products on potato chip storage stability was not shown in this study since only the chips fried in HYCO from frying day 5 exhibited a significantly greater rate of off‐odor development than chips from frying day 1, and only the chips fried in LLCO from frying day 5 had a greater rate of accumulation of volatiles than chips from frying day 1.
