Comparison of boiling, steaming, air frying, deep frying, microwaving and oven-cooking on quality characteristics of keropok lekor (Malaysian fish sausage)

Keropok lekor (KL) (Malaysian fish sausage) is usually boiled and then deep-fried for consumption. The combination ofthese cooking methods could produce greasy and fatty products thus negatively affect health in a long term. Other cookingmethods could be better alternatives to...
