What percentage of canola oil is used in the fryer blend?

The correct percentage of canola oil used in fryer blends is typically around 70%. This level reflects the balance between providing a neutral flavor profile, high smoke point, and health benefits associated with canola oil. Using a blend allows for the properties of canola oil to enhance the overall frying performance while achieving desired results in texture and taste for various foods.

Selecting a different percentage would not achieve the same balance; for example, using only 50% may not provide enough stability and performance in frying, whilst higher percentages such as 80% could lead to issues with flavor or excessive smoking at high temperatures. Therefore, the standard practice in the industry is to utilize approximately 70% canola oil in fryer blends for optimal results.
