Master Chefs' Certified

Independent Evaluation


In November 2016, Frylow’s effect on food quality was evaluated by an outside, independent group called the Master Chefs' Institute, which scientifically validated Frylow’s food quality benefits. In particular, the Institute documented that Frylow fried food is superior in every way (taste, crispiness, appearance, etc.) on every one of 6 representative fried foods prepared.

Based on test results, the Institute bestowed its Master Chefs' Seal of Excellence on Frylow.



In blind testing, a panel of master chefs judged 6 characteristics of 6-types of fried food prepared with and without Frylow.


The panel determined that Frylow fried food was better than ordinary fried food on all 6 characteristics measured on all 6-foods tested.

The 6 characteristics were taste, crispiness, appearance, texture, aroma, and color.

The 6 foods were french fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, calamari, chicken wings, & chicken tenders.
