A combination of two or more acrylamide-reducing agents are added to a
fabricated food prior to cooking in order to reduce the formation of
acrylamide. The fabricated food product can be, for example, a corn chip
or a potato chip. Alternatively, a thermally-processed food, such as a
potato chip from a sliced potato, can be contacted with a solution having
two or more acrylamide-reducing agents prior to cooking. The
acrylamide-reducing agents can include asparaginase, di- and trivalent
cations, and various amino acids and free thiols. The acrylamide-reducing
agents can be added during milling, dry mix, wet mix, or other admix, so
that the agents are present throughout the food product.
