Read About Our Impact

How does it work?

  • There is no magic! – only science!
  • The forcible catalytic effects of OiL Chef, work as a stopper agent against deterioration of the fat and oil.
  • Generating molecular oxygen in the oil - through catalytic absorption of O2 onto the ceramic pellets’ near infinite surface areas.
  • This active molecular oxygen cuts the chains of lumpy oil bodies that raise oil viscosity.
  • It keeps the oil in finer form, improving heat conductivity that enables quicker cooking at lower temperatures.
  • It prevents oil from breaking down resulting in less harmful by-products in the oil and less oil being absorbed by the food being fried/blanched.

Frying Oil Lab Test Analysis

FRYING OIL DEGRADATION ANAYLYSIS DATA
(Test Lab: Japan Food Research Laboratories)

    NOTE
  • The above data are based on samples of frying oil that have been in use for 8 hours a daily for three (3) consecutive days.
  • Based on the standard test method of fat analysis (Japan Petrochemical Institute).
  • Based on the standard test method of fat analysis (Japan Petrochemical Institute). Absorption of light is 1gram/sample with wavelength of 440nm.
  • Viscosity was measured at 68°F (20°C) temperature.
  • The oil color was gauged by use of Rovibond method (cell length: 10mm). R is Red and Y is Yellow.
  • Based on the standard test method of fat analysis / Japan Petrochemical Institute.

OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DATA
(Test Lab: Aintech, Ltd. in Japan)

    NOTE
  • TESTING PERIOD: 8 hours daily for three (3) consecutive days.
  • FRYING OIL & OBJECTS USED:
  • Cooking Oil: 2 liters of Nissei frying oil.
  • Coating powder for food objects: Showa tempura powder with chestnut starch powder.
  • Food objects: Sweet-potato, potato, chicken meat, mackerel, pumpkin, ball onion, eggplant, and persimmon.
  • TEMPERATURE SETTING:
  • Temperatures were controlled within range of 302~356°F (160~180°C).
  • Fixed average temperature below usual setting by 9~18°F (5~10°C) on average.

302-320°F - French fries, eggplants
320-338°F - Sweet potato, pork cutlet, Koroke (mashed potato pie)
338-366°F - Fish, shrimp, chicken

*Result Analysis: 11.5% (or 230 cc) less oil consumption on account of OiL Chef during the 3 days frying exercises.


A SEPARATE KINETIC VISCOSITY TEST DATA
(Test Lab: Nijuu Techui, Ltd. In Japan)

    NOTE
  • The viscosity was measured at 104°F (40°C) by Standard Oil Analysis Method using Canon Fenske Viscosity Gauge instrument.

DISSOLUTION TEST DATA-SAFETY
(Test Lab: Japan Food Research Laboratories)
