Sliced potatoes (SP) and chicken breast meat (CBM) were fried for 200 min/day for seven consecutive days using RBDPO at 180 °C without any oil replenishment. The amounts of total polar compound (TPC), polymerized triacylglycerols (PTG), and short-chain fatty acid (caprylic acid) that formed were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the RBDPO used to fry SP compared to CBM. The TPC in the RBDPO used to fry SP exceeded the limit of rejection for human consumption (> 25% polar compounds) on the seventh day of frying. In addition, the amounts of epoxy, keto, and hydroxy acids that formed were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in the RBDPO used to fry CBM compared to SP. RBDPO also exceeded the safety limit when the concentration of epoxy acids respectively reached 7.4 g/kg and 8.8 g/kg after frying SP and CBM for seven days.
