2) While cooking the sweet potato, soak the rolled oat with hot water for 10 mins, then sieve away the water, set aside.
3) in the mixing cup, add in mashed potato, soaked rolled oat and butter. Use hand blender / blender to blend them till smooth
4) add in potato starch and stir well, then transfer it into a plastic bag, cut a hole at the edge (5mm size) then start squeezing the batter (about 1 cm pile size) on parchment paper/non stick baking sheet (pic 1-2), squeeze another with large gap (about 2 inches) between batter
5) place another sheet of parchment paper / non stick baking sheet to cover the squeezed batters (pic 3-4)
6) use you hand gently press on each batter, then use a flat bottom surface bowl or anything to press the batters gently. (pic 5-6) ( as I am using a casserole bowl, I just put the bowl on top of each batter, they are nicely pressed down with the bowl weight, I didn't use any force)
7) bake at preheated oven of 160'C for 5 mins, remove baking tray from oven. Gently remove the top parchment paper/non stick baking sheet. (pic A below)
8) return the baking tray to the oven and continue baking for 5-8 mins or till the sides start turning brown.

什麼是丙烯酰胺(Acrylamide)
丙烯酰胺是生產聚丙烯酰胺的原料。聚丙烯酰胺主要用於水的淨化處理、紙漿的加工及管道的內塗層等。澱粉類食品在高溫(120℃以上)烹調下容易產生丙烯酰胺。丙烯酰胺可見於吸煙、經高溫加工處理的澱粉食品及飲用水中。 2002年4月瑞典國家食品管理局和斯德哥爾摩大學研究人員率先報導,在一些油炸和燒烤的澱粉類食品中檢出丙烯酰胺,而且含量超過飲水中允許最大限量的500多倍。之後多國家也相繼報導了類似結果。


製作烤肉、醃肉易產生致癌物已不是稀奇之事,然而香港食物安全中心近日發表的《首個總膳食研究報告》卻稱,炒蔬菜也可能致癌。因為在高溫炒製的過程中,蔬菜中的氨基酸和還原糖發生美拉德反應,釋放出令人致癌的丙烯酰胺,且炒菜時間越長、溫度越高,釋放出的丙烯酰胺就越多。



油炸食物會致癌

2012年8月,美國《國家癌症研究雜誌》報導,炸薯條等油炸澱粉類食物會產生一種稱為丙烯酰胺的成分,可能會致癌。瑞典科學家也證實,炸薯條、炸洋芋片等高溫油炸或烘烤的澱粉類食物,含有大量丙烯酰胺,會增加多種癌症發病的風險。

根據目前各國提供的數據,富含丙烯酰胺的食品主要有炸薯條、炸薯片、爆玉米花、咖啡、餅乾、麵包、蛋糕、炸雞等等。另外,世界衛生組織對17個國家的調查發現,人體攝入的丙烯酰胺主要來源的食品為炸薯條16%~30%,炸薯片6%~46%,咖啡13%~39%,餅乾10%~20%,麵包10%~30%,其餘均小於10%。


熱鍋滾油炒蔬菜會致癌

2013年8月,香港食物安全中心發布的一份研究報告稱,在對肉類、蔬菜、豆類及麥製品等共133種食物進行檢測後發現,樣本中47%的食物含有可能令人致癌的丙烯酰胺,其中讓人大跌眼鏡的是蔬菜及其製品的丙烯酰胺含量排第二位,僅次於零​​食類食品。該中心又對22種蔬菜樣本進行測試,發現炒菜時間越長、溫度越高,蔬菜釋放出的丙烯酰胺就越多,加入食用油炒和乾炒的檢測結果無異。


在送檢的蔬菜中,西葫蘆高溫加熱後釋放出的丙烯酰胺最多,其次為大蒜、洋蔥,緊隨其後的是空心菜、燈籠椒、茄子、芥藍、絲瓜、西芹、芥菜,而生菜、菠菜、莧菜在炒製後釋放出的丙烯酰胺較少。

By Dr. Mercola

Acrylamide, a cancer-causing and potentially neurotoxic chemical, is created when carbohydrate-rich foods are cooked at high temperatures, whether baked, fried, roasted, grilled or toasted.

Some of the worst offenders include potato chips and French fries, but many foods cooked or processed at temperatures above 250 F/120 C may contain acrylamide.

As a general rule, the chemical is formed when food is heated enough to produce a fairly dry and brown/yellow surface … so if you're eating cooked foods that contain this characteristic, even if it was once a "healthy" natural food, like a sweet potato, it could be increasing your risk of cancer significantly.

WARNING: Some Potato Chips Contain Acrylamide in Levels 900 Times Over the Legal Limit

Acrylamide forms from a reaction between sugars and an amino acid (asparagine) during high-temperature cooking. While many foods – from coffee and breakfast cereal to bread – contain it, the highest levels have been detected in starchy plant-based foods, particularly French fries and potato chips. The federal limit for acrylamide in drinking water is 0.5 parts per billion, or about 0.12 micrograms in an eight-ounce glass of water.

However, a six-ounce serving of French fries can contain 60 micrograms of acrylamide, or about 500 times over the allowable limit.

Similarly, potato chips are notoriously high in this dangerous chemical. So high, in fact, that in 2005 the state of California actually sued potato chip makers for failing to warn California consumers about the health risks of acrylamide in their products. A settlement was reached in 2008 when Frito-Lay and several other potato chip makers agreed to reduce the acrylamide levels in their chips to 275 parts per billion (ppb) by 2011, which is low enough to avoid needing a cancer warning label.iii

Can You Reduce Your Exposure to Cancer-Causing Acrylamide?

Acrylamide levels vary greatly among processed foods, even among different batches of the same food item. The chemical has so far only been found in foods heated above 250 F/120 C, which includes most processed foods. Basing your diet on whole foods, with the majority or a significant portion eaten raw or only lightly cooked is therefore one of the best ways to avoid this cancer-causing cooking by product.

For the times when you do cook your food, here are some tips to keep in mind:
  • Frying, baking and broiling appear to be the worst offenders, while boiling or steaming appear to be much safer
  • Longer cooking times increase acrylamide, so the shorter the duration of cooking, the better
  • Soaking raw potatoes in water for 15-30 minutes prior to roasting may help reduce acrylamide formation during cooking
  • The darker brown the food, the more acrylamide it contains (for instance, dark brown toast compared to light brown toast)
  • Acrylamide is found primarily in plant-based foods, such as potatoes and grain products (not typically in meat, dairy or seafood)
  • In addition, the HEATOX scientists discovered that you're far less likely to ingest dangerous levels of the toxin when you eat home-cooked foods compared to industrially or restaurant-prepared foods. And when you do eat at home, the best advice they could give was to avoid overcooking your food.
